[0072] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0073] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0074] This application provides a ground socket 100. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing the installation of the floor socket 100 on the ground 200. (Example) Figure 1As shown, when the floor socket 100 is installed on the ground 200, in order to ensure better decorative aesthetics and waterproof and dustproof performance, a part of the floor socket 100 will protrude slightly from the ground 200, and the protrusion height is limited to a range that will not affect the normal walking of people or the normal movement of moving objects.

[0075] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the appearance of a floor socket 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 The exploded view of the floor socket 100 is shown. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the foot socket 100 includes a base box 1, a cover 2, and a sealing assembly 3.

[0076] The bottom box 1 is equipped with a functional component 4 of a foot socket 100, and the bottom box 1 has an internal space for accommodating a plug assembly that is plugged into the functional component 4. The top of the bottom box 1 has a first opening 11, which connects the outside world with the internal space of the bottom box 1.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, the cover 2 can cover the top of the bottom box 1 and cover the first opening 11; as Figure 4 As shown, the cover 2 can also be opened relative to the base box 1 to expose the first opening 11. In some embodiments, the cover 2 can be movably connected to the base box 1 via a hinge assembly 5, a pivot assembly, etc., thereby enabling the covering and opening of the first opening 11. To ensure a better decorative effect, a recessed portion is formed in the center of the cover 2, which can be installed on the floor or floor tiles to reduce the exposed area of ​​the floor socket 100 on the ground 200.

[0078] At least a portion of the sealing assembly 3 is located between the bottom box 1 and the top cover 2, serving to seal the overlapping / connecting surfaces between the bottom box 1 and the top cover 2. The sealing assembly 3 contacts at least a portion of the top surface 131 of the bottom box 1, wherein the orthographic projection of the top surface 131 of the bottom box 1 onto a set plane has a first outer contour, which coincides with or is located within the second outer contour of the orthographic projection of the sealing assembly 3 onto the set plane, and the set plane is perpendicular to the opening direction of the first opening 11.

[0079] It should be understood that, in the embodiments of this application, the first outer contour and the second outer contour coincide, which means that the outer edge of the sealing component 3 is flush with the outer edge of the top surface 131 of the bottom box 1; the first outer contour is located within the orthographic projection of the sealing component 3 on the set plane, which means that the outer edge of the sealing component 3 extends beyond the outer edge of the top surface 131 of the bottom box 1.

[0080] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the outer edge refers to the outermost edge of the object in the direction parallel to the set plane.

[0081] Therefore, the foot socket 100 provided in this application embodiment, by providing a sealing component 3 between the top of the bottom box 1 and the cover 2, makes the sealing component 3 contact at least a part of the top surface 131 of the bottom box 1, and the first outer contour of the orthographic projection of the bottom box 1 on the set plane is located within the orthographic projection of the sealing component 3 on the set plane or coincides with its second outer contour, that is, the sealing component 3 at least covers the outer edge of the top surface 131 of the bottom box 1, thereby reducing or even eliminating the gap between the top of the bottom box 1 and the cover 2, which can increase the path length and difficulty of external moisture or dust entering the interior of the bottom box 1, and play an effective role in waterproofing and dustproofing.

[0082] In some embodiments of this application, the second outer contour coincides with orthogonal projection of the cover 2 onto a set plane, or is located within orthogonal projection of the cover 2 onto a set plane.

[0083] In other words, the cover 2 at least covers the outer edge of the sealing component 3, including both cases where the outer edge of the cover 2 is flush with the outer edge of the sealing component 3 and cases where the outer edge of the cover 2 extends beyond the outer edge of the sealing component 3. Therefore, the cover 2, in the opening direction of the first opening 11, forms a shield at the overlap / connection between the cover 2 and the bottom box 1 (here referring to the bottom box 1 with the sealing component 3 installed, the overlap is actually the overlap between the cover 2 and the sealing component 3), which can prevent external water and dust from falling directly onto the overlap / connection, thus reducing the risk of external water and dust entering the interior of the bottom box 1 and further improving the waterproof and dustproof effect.

[0084] Figure 5 It is Figure 2 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the base socket 100 obtained by cutting along line AA. In one example of this application, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the first outer contour of the top surface 131 of the bottom box 1 projected onto the set plane is located within the orthogonal projection of the sealing component 3 onto the set plane; the second outer contour of the orthogonal projection of the sealing component 3 onto the set plane is located within the orthogonal projection of the cover 2 onto the set plane, thus ensuring better waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0085] In some embodiments of this application, the sealing assembly 3 may include a first seal 31 connected to the bottom box 1. For example... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the side wall 12 of the bottom box 1 is turned outward at the first opening 11 to form an annular flange 13, and the first seal 31 covers at least a portion of the annular flange 13.

[0086] By forming an annular flange 13 on the top of the bottom box 1 and having the first seal 31 wrap around the outside of the annular flange 13, the overlap area between the bottom box 1 and the cover 2 is increased, thereby improving the support force and stability of the cover 2. On the other hand, the connection area with the sealing component 3 is increased, which facilitates the installation of the sealing component 3 and improves the connection strength and reliability with the sealing component 3. Furthermore, it also increases the path length for external water and dust to enter the interior of the bottom box 1, thereby improving the waterproof and dustproof effect.

[0087] It is readily understood that, in the embodiments of this application, as Figure 5 As shown, the annular flange 13 is disposed around the first opening 11, and the first seal 31 at least covers the outer edge of the annular flange 13. When the foot socket 100 is installed on the ground 200, the annular flange 13 is located above the ground 200.

[0088] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 7-9 The structure of the first sealing element 31 will be described in detail.

[0089] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first sealing member 31 includes a sealing edge portion 311 and an extension portion 312. The sealing edge portion 311 wraps around the annular flange portion 13. One side of the extension portion 312 is connected to the sealing edge portion 311, and the other side of the extension portion 312 extends into the interior of the bottom box 1 through the first opening 11 and fits against the inner wall of the bottom box 1.

[0090] With this configuration, the first sealing element 31 can completely cover the top surface 131 of the bottom box 1. Therefore, when the cover 2 overlaps the bottom box 1, it completely overlaps the first sealing element 31, thus ensuring the sealing of the overlap and thereby ensuring the waterproof and dustproof effect. Optionally, the extension 312 is perpendicularly connected to the sealing edge 311.

[0091] Optionally, the first seal 31 can be formed on the top of the bottom box 1 by injection molding, thereby achieving connection with the annular flange 13 and the inner wall of the bottom box 1.

[0092] Optionally, such as Figure 8 As shown, the extension 312 extends inside the bottom box 1 at a distance that is flush with the lower edge of the sealing portion 311. That is to say, in the opening direction of the first opening 11, the length of the extension 312 is equal to the length of the sealing portion 311, so as to facilitate forming or installation.

[0093] like Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the annular flange 13 has a top surface 131 and a mounting surface 132 opposite to the top surface 131. The mounting surface 132 is used to mount the bottom box 1 on the ground 200. Specifically, the ground 200 is usually provided with a mounting groove for the floor socket 100. The orthographic projection of the mounting groove on the set plane is located inside the orthographic projection of the annular flange 13 on the set plane. Therefore, after the floor socket 100 is assembled into the mounting groove, the annular flange 13 is located outside the mounting groove and higher than the ground 200 (visually forming the effect of protruding from the ground 200). The mounting surface 132 of the annular flange 13 overlaps or connects with the outer edge of the mounting groove, thereby realizing the installation of the bottom box 1 on the ground 200.

[0094] Correspondingly, the edge sealing portion 311 has a U-shaped cross-section. The edge sealing portion 311 includes a first plate portion 3111, a second plate portion 3112, and a third plate portion 3113 that are bent and connected in sequence. The first plate portion 3111 is attached to the top surface 131 of the annular flange portion 13, the second plate portion 3112 is attached to the outer side of the annular flange portion 13 away from the first opening 11, and the third plate portion 3113 is attached to the mounting surface 132 of the annular flange portion 13.

[0095] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, "attachment" and "fitting" have similar meanings, referring to two objects contacting or connecting in a surface-to-surface manner. The contact surface can be the entire area of ​​one side surface of the object or a part of one side surface of the object.

[0096] This ensures the reliable installation of the first seal 31 and the annular flange 13, and prevents external water and dust from entering the interior of the bottom box 1 from the connection / contact point between the first seal 31 and the annular flange 13.

[0097] Optionally, the first plate portion 3111 is perpendicularly connected to the second plate portion 3112; and / or, the second plate portion 3112 is perpendicularly connected to the third plate portion 3113; and / or, the third plate portion 3113 is perpendicularly connected to the extension portion 312.

[0098] Optionally, such as Figure 9 As shown, the thickness of the first plate portion 3111 is greater than the thickness of the third plate portion 3113, so as to ensure the structural strength of the first seal 31 and improve the service life of the first seal 31.

[0099] Optionally, see [link to relevant documentation] Figure 9From the first side of the sealing portion 311 away from the extension portion 312, to the side of the extension portion 312 away from the sealing portion 311, the thickness of the first sealing member 31 gradually increases, thus ensuring the structural strength and sealing reliability of the first sealing member 31. In one example, the thickness of the first plate portion 3111, the second plate portion 3112, the third plate portion 3113, and the extension portion 312 are all uniform, and the thickness of the first plate portion 3111, the second plate portion 3112, the third plate portion 3113, and the extension portion 312 increases sequentially.

[0100] In some embodiments of this application, the sealing assembly 3 may further include a second seal 32 connected to the faceplate 2. For example... Figure 10 As shown, the second seal 32 is attached to and connected to the bottom surface 21 of the cover 2 facing the bottom box 1.

[0101] When the second seal 32 is attached to the cover 2, if the cover 2 is opened, at least a portion of the second seal 32 will detach from the bottom box 1, thereby exposing the first opening 11; if the cover 2 covers the top of the bottom box 1, the second seal 32 will be in close contact with the top surface 131 of the bottom box 1, thereby achieving a seal at the overlap / connection between the cover 2 and the bottom box 1, effectively providing waterproof and dustproof protection.

[0102] It should be understood that, in the embodiments of this application, depending on actual needs, the sealing component 3 may include both the first sealing element 31 and the second sealing element 32, or may include only either the first sealing element 31 or the second sealing element 32.

[0103] like Figure 11 As shown, to ensure a tight seal at the joint between the cover 2 and the bottom box 1, the second seal 32 is an annular structure surrounding at least a portion of the first opening 11. It should be noted that the annular structure includes both closed annular structures that are closed in the annular direction and open, semi-annular structures with a small portion missing in the annular direction, such as a U-shape.

[0104] like Figure 12 As shown, the second seal 32 has a first surface 321 facing the bottom box 1, and a groove 325 is provided on the first surface 321. The groove 325 is located between the inner ring surface 322 and the outer ring surface 323 of the second seal 32.

[0105] By setting the groove 325, on the one hand, the internal stress of the second seal 32 can be reduced and the service life of the second seal 32 can be improved; on the other hand, the contact tightness between the second seal 32 and the top surface 131 of the bottom box 1 can be increased, resulting in a better water and dust barrier effect.

[0106] Optionally, the groove 325 can extend circumferentially along the second seal 32, thereby forming an annular groove 325 or a semi-annular groove 325. Therefore, at each position in the circumferential direction of the first opening 11, the sealing effect at the contact point between the bottom box 1 and the second seal 32 is improved as much as possible, effectively preventing external water and dust from entering the interior of the bottom box 1.

[0107] Optionally, the number of grooves 325 is at least two, and the at least two grooves 325 are arranged at intervals along a direction parallel to the set plane, with a gap between any two adjacent grooves 325. In one example, such as Figure 12 As shown, the second seal 32 is provided with two grooves 325, and the two grooves 325 are arranged at intervals along the direction from the inner annular surface 322 to the outer annular surface 323.

[0108] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 13 As shown, the groove 325 has a first groove sidewall 3251, a groove bottom wall 3252, and a second groove sidewall 3253 connected in sequence. The first groove sidewall 3251 and the second groove sidewall 3253 are positioned opposite each other, and the first groove sidewall 3251 is further away from the second groove sidewall 3253 than the second groove sidewall 3253. The second groove sidewall 3253 is perpendicularly connected to the groove bottom wall 3252, and the wall surface of the second groove sidewall 3253 is parallel to the opening direction of the first opening 11. The first groove sidewall 3251 is inclined to the groove bottom wall 3252, that is, the first groove sidewall 3251 has a slope, and the slope direction is further away from the second groove sidewall 3253 as it is further away from the groove bottom wall 3252. Therefore, the area of ​​the opening end of the formed groove 325 is larger than the area of ​​the groove bottom wall 3252, which further improves the stress absorption capacity of the groove 325 and the tight contact between the second seal 32 and the bottom box 1.

[0109] Optionally, combined Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, when there are at least two grooves 325, the slope of the first groove sidewall 3251 of the groove 325 closer to the first opening 11 is smaller than the slope of the first groove sidewall 3251 of the groove 325 farther from the first opening 11. That is to say, the angle between the first groove sidewall 3251 and the groove bottom wall 3252 of the groove 325 closer to the first opening 11 is greater than the angle between the first groove sidewall 3251 and the groove bottom wall 3252 of the groove 325 farther from the first opening 11. Therefore, the second seal 32 as a whole has the performance that the closer to the outer edge, the stronger the sealing ability and the better the stress absorption ability.

[0110] Optionally, such as Figure 12As shown, the inner annular surface 322 of the second seal 32 is also an inclined surface. The inclination direction of this inclined surface is the same as the inclination direction of the first groove sidewall 3251 of the groove 325, but the inclination angles can be equal or unequal. In one example, the inclination angle of the inner annular surface 322 is less than the inclination angle of the first groove sidewall 3251 of any groove 325.

[0111] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 14 As shown, a first positioning part 326 is provided on the second surface 324 of the second sealing member 32 facing the cover 2, and a second positioning part 22 is provided on the bottom surface 21 of the cover 2 facing the bottom box 1. The first positioning part 326 and the second positioning part 22 cooperate to position the second sealing member 32 on the cover 2 for easy installation. The first positioning part 326 and the second positioning part 22 are respectively a protruding structure and a recessed structure, with the protruding structure located within the recessed structure 325, thus allowing the two to cooperate.

[0112] Optionally, the second seal 32 is connected to the face cover 2 by adhesive bonding, and the first positioning part 326 and the second positioning part 22 are also connected by adhesive bonding.

[0113] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the cover 2 may include a first cover 23 and a second cover 24. Generally, the area of ​​the first cover 23 is larger than that of the second cover 24. The first cover 23 is provided with a second opening 231 to allow the wiring harness of the plug assembly plugged into the functional component 4 to pass through. Thus, during use, the first cover 23 can cover the bottom box 1, preventing the functional component 4 and the plug assembly from being exposed. This improves the decorative and aesthetic appearance of the floor socket 100 during use and also prevents the opening of the first cover 23 from affecting people's walking and the movement of objects. The second cover 24 is located inside the second opening 231 and is rotatably or detachably connected to the first cover 23. The second cover 24 can cover or expose the second opening 231.

In one example, such as Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, the first cover 23 has a shaft hole on its inner sidewall that forms the second opening 231, and one end of the second cover 24 has a rotating shaft 242, which is clearance-fitted with the shaft hole, thereby enabling the second cover 24 to rotate relative to the first cover 23.

[0115] See also Figure 16In some embodiments of this application, the sealing assembly 3 may further include a third sealing member 33 connected to the second sealing member 32. At least a portion of the third sealing member 33 is located between the first cover 23 and the second cover 24 to seal the gap generated during the rotation of the second cover 24 relative to the first cover 23, especially to seal the gap between the second cover 24 and the first cover 23 when the second cover 24 covers the second opening 231, thereby preventing external water or dust from entering the interior of the bottom box 1 from between the first cover 23 and the second cover 24.

[0116] In some embodiments, to further improve the waterproof and dustproof effect, such as Figure 17 As shown, the third seal 33 is affixed to the first cover 23 to form the inner wall of the second opening 231, thereby sealing the mating gap between the first cover 23 and the second cover 24 in the circumferential direction of the second opening 231. It should be understood that in this case, the shape of the third seal 33 is adapted to the shape of the second opening 231. For example, if the second opening 231 is circumferentially closed, the third seal 33 has a closed annular structure; if one side of the second opening 231 is open, the third seal 33 has a U-shaped structure.

[0117] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17 As shown, when the edge of the first cover 23 extends from one side of the second opening 231, the second seal 32 is a semi-annular structure, and the third seal 33 is connected to the second seal 32, so that the two together form a closed annular structure.

[0118] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the sealing assembly 3 may further include a fourth seal 34, which is independent of the first seal 31 and the second seal 32. At least a portion of the fourth seal 34 is located within the second opening 231 and between the first cover 23 and the second cover 24. It is used to seal the gap generated during the rotation of the second cover 24 relative to the first cover 23, especially to seal the gap between the second cover 24 and the first cover 23 when the second cover 24 covers the second opening 231, thereby preventing external water or dust from entering the interior of the bottom box 1 from between the first cover 23 and the second cover 24.

[0119] In some embodiments, to further improve the waterproof and dustproof effect, the shape of the fourth seal 34 is adapted to the shape of the second opening 231. For example, if the second opening 231 is circumferentially closed, the fourth seal 34 has a closed annular structure; if one side of the second opening 231 is open, the fourth seal 34 has a U-shaped structure.

[0120] In some embodiments, such as Figure 16 and Figure 19As shown, at least one of the third seal 33 and the fourth seal 34 has an L-shaped cross-section. A portion of the seal is sandwiched between the first cover 23 and the second cover 24, and another portion is attached to and fixed to the surface of the first cover 23 facing the bottom box 1.

[0121] The following description uses the fourth seal 34 as an example to illustrate its fixing method. It should be understood that the third seal 33 can also be fixed in the same or similar way. Figure 19 , Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, the cover 2 also includes a pressing block 25, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the first cover 23 facing the bottom box 1. The connection method can be, for example, bonding, snap-fitting, riveting, or screw connection. The fourth sealing member 34 has an L-shaped cross-section and includes a fourth plate and a fifth plate that are bent and connected. The fourth plate is attached to the surface of the first cover 23 facing the bottom box 1 and is fastened between the pressing block 25 and the first cover 23. The fifth plate extends into the second opening 231 and is located between the first cover 23 and the second cover 24.

[0122] In this embodiment, the end of the second cover 24 furthest from the pivot 242 can overlap the top of the base box 1, that is, the second cover 24 has an overlapping end 241 for overlapping and engaging with the top surface 131 of the base box 1. To prevent external water and dust from entering the interior of the base box 1 from this overlapping area, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 22 and 23 As shown, the sealing assembly 3 also includes a fifth seal 35, which is connected to the surface of the second cover 24 facing the bottom box 1, thereby sealing the overlap between the overlapping end 241 of the second cover 24 and the top surface 131 of the bottom box 1.

[0123] For example, each sealing element in the sealing assembly 3 of this application embodiment can be a soft sealing ring or sealing strip such as rubber or silicone.

[0124] In summary, the floor socket 100 provided in this application embodiment achieves sealing between the various parts of the floor socket 100's cover 2 and between the cover 2 and the base box 1 by providing at least one of a first sealing member 31 and a second sealing member 32 between the first cover 23 and the second cover 24, providing a third sealing member 33 or a fourth sealing member 34 between the first cover 23 and the second cover 24, and providing a fifth sealing member 35 between the overlapping end 241 of the second cover 24 and the top surface 131 of the base box 1. This achieves sealing between the various parts of the floor socket 100's cover 2 and between the cover 2 and the base box 1. While having good decorative properties, it can prevent external moisture or dust from entering the interior of the base box 1, thereby improving the safety performance and service life of the floor socket 100.
