[0021] In the technical solution of this utility model, the device for protecting the USB interface of the panel based on the spring sheet includes a panel groove 1, a USB flip cover 2 and a base 3. The panel groove 1 is set on the panel. The USB flip cover 2 and the base 3 are connected together by a pivot. The USB flip cover 2 is installed on the panel groove 1. One end of the USB flip cover 2 is locked to the bottom of the panel groove 1 by screws through the base 3, so that the USB flip cover 2 can rotate around the pivot of the base 3 to a closed position and an open position. When the USB flip cover 2 is in the closed position, it is completely embedded in the panel groove 1. The outer surface of the USB flip cover 2 is coplanar with the panel. The bottom of the panel groove 1 is provided with a USB interface. The device also includes a base spring 6 and a flip cover protrusion 7. The base spring 6 is mounted on the base and has a slender spring structure. When the USB flip cover 2 is flipped open, the flip cover protrusion 7 and the base spring 6 are pressed together, and the base spring 6 is deformed. When the USB flip cover 2 is in the open position, the base spring 6 is reset and the base spring 6 is engaged with the flip cover protrusion 7, and the USB flip cover 2 is in a suspended state.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a step is provided in the panel groove 1, and a step protrusion 5 is provided on the step. A flip cover buckle 4 is provided on the back of the USB flip cover 2, and the step protrusion 5 is engaged with the flip cover buckle 4.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a USB logo and an arrow are provided on the outer surface of the USB flip cover 2 at a position corresponding to the flip cover buckle 4.

[0026] This invention provides a USB protection structure that can provide IP54 level protection. The advantage of this structure is that it does not rely entirely on the snap-lock closing of the flip cover and is easy to install.

[0027] To achieve the above objectives, the USB protective structure of this utility model is designed as follows: a panel groove 1 is provided on the panel, the USB flip cover 2 and the base 3 are connected together by a pivot, and then screws are used to lock the USB flip cover 2 and the base 3 into the panel groove 1, so that the USB flip cover 2 is completely embedded in the panel groove 1 and its outer surface is coplanar with the panel. Figure 2 As shown.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the USB flip cover 2 has a USB logo and an arrow on the same side as the panel, which makes it easy for operators to quickly identify the operating position.

[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, there is a step inside the panel, and there is a small step protrusion 5 on the step, which can be engaged with the flip cover buckle 4 when the USB flip cover 2 is closed, so that the waterproof foam deforms and presses the USB interface to protect the USB interface.

[0030] After the USB flip cover is closed, there is a large gap between the panel groove 1 and the USB flip cover 2, which increases the contact area between the fingers and the flip cover when the flip cover is opened manually, making the operation easier and more convenient.

[0031] The base has a slender spring structure, namely the base spring 6.
