A home grid typically uses a distribution box to connect the grid to the home power circuit. In order to facilitate connection of household appliances, some distribution boxes are provided with sockets for plug connection of household appliances. The installation modes of the distribution box are generally divided into wall hanging type and embedded type. For the embedded distribution box, as the periphery of the distribution box is embedded into the wall body, the periphery of the distribution box is not provided with space for plug connection, so that an opening can be formed in the front of the distribution box to expose the socket hole of the socket. For the distribution box installed in a wall-mounted mode, the back face of the distribution box is shielded by the wall body, the periphery of the distribution box is not shielded by the wall body, and therefore openings can be formed in the periphery of the distribution box to expose socket holes of the socket, and plugs can be connected with the socket from the periphery of the distribution box.

However, the orientation of the socket holes of the socket of the distribution box is fixed, either towards the front of the distribution box or towards the periphery of the distribution box. If the socket holes are arranged to face the periphery of the distribution box, the distribution box cannot be installed in an embedded installation mode, otherwise, the plug cannot be inserted into the socket. That is, the direction of the socket hole is difficult to be both on the front surface of the distribution box and around the distribution box, the distribution box can only select an embedded or wall-mounted mounting mode according to the position of the socket hole, and the mounting mode cannot be flexibly selected.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a socket 100. The socket 100 may be configured to the distribution box 200 so that the home appliance is connected to the socket 100 through a plug to access a power grid or a home electric circuit.

Referring to fig. 2, the socket 100 includes a mounting base 10 and a rotating base 20. The mounting base 10 is rotatably mounted on the distribution box 200, and the rotating base 20 is rotatably connected with the mounting base 10. The rotary base 20 includes a first surface 21, and the first surface 21 of the rotary base 20 is provided with a socket hole 211 for plugging a plug. The rotating base 20 can rotate relative to the mounting base 10 to switch between the first state and the second state.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 illustrates a first state of the rotating base 20, and the first surface 21 faces the first direction a when the rotating base 20 is in the first state. Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 illustrates a second state of the rotating base 20, and when the rotating base 20 is in the second state, the first surface 21 and the outer surface face the second direction B.

Wherein the first direction A and the second direction B are two different directions. For example, the first direction a is a direction in which the front surface 232 of the power distribution box 200 faces, and when the first surface 21 faces the first direction a, the socket holes 211 are formed in the front surface 232 of the power distribution box 200, and when the power distribution box 200 is mounted in a wall body in a flush-mounting manner, the socket holes 211 are not shielded by the wall body, so that plugs can be inserted into the socket holes 211 from the front surface 232 of the power distribution box 200; the second direction B is a direction in which the first outer surface 231 faces, and when the first surface 21 faces the second direction B, the socket hole 211 is formed in the side surface of the power distribution box 200, and when the power distribution box 200 is mounted in a wall body in a wall-mounted manner, the socket hole 211 is not shielded by the wall body, so that a plug can be inserted into the socket hole 211 from the side surface of the power distribution box 200.

Since the rotary base 20 can rotate relative to the mounting base 10 to switch between the first state and the second state, the rotary base 20 can be correspondingly selected to be adjusted to the first state or the second state according to the mounting mode of the distribution box 200, so that the position of the socket hole 211 is adapted to the mounting mode of the distribution box 200 without being blocked by a wall body. In this way, the socket 100 can be used by being disposed in the power distribution box 200, and can be adjusted to the first state or the second state based on the installation mode of the power distribution box 200, so that the socket 100 can be selectively applied to the installation mode of the power distribution box 200, which is embedded or hung on a wall.

The receptacle 100 may be mounted inside or outside the power distribution box 200. As shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 illustrates a case where the socket 100 is mounted inside the distribution box 200. In one embodiment, the electrical box 200 includes a first wall 201 and a second wall 202. When the power distribution box 200 is mounted on a wall, a surface of the power distribution box 200 connected to the wall is a back surface 233, and a wall surface of an end opposite to the back surface 233 of the power distribution box 200 is a first wall surface 201, that is, the first wall surface 201 faces the front surface of the power distribution box 200. The peripheral wall of the electrical box 200 is a second wall 202, and the second wall 202 shown in fig. 5 is a peripheral wall of the bottom of the electrical box 200, and in other embodiments, the second wall 202 may be other peripheral walls of the electrical box 200, such as a peripheral wall of the top of the electrical box 200, a peripheral wall of a side portion of the electrical box 200, and the like, which are not limited herein.

If the power distribution box 200 is mounted on a wall body in an embedded mounting manner, the rotating base 20 can be switched to a first state, so that the socket holes 211 face the first direction a, and both the first direction a and the first wall surface 201 face the front surface of the power distribution box 200, that is, the rotating base 20 can be switched to the first state, so that the socket holes 211 face the front surface of the power distribution box 200. When the rotary seat 20 is in the first state, the first through hole 2011 may be formed in the first wall 201, and the rotary seat 20 may be configured to be inserted through the first through hole 2011, so that the socket hole 211 may be exposed to the outside of the power distribution box 200 from the front of the power distribution box 200 on the basis of facing the front of the power distribution box 200, so as to facilitate plug connection.

Similarly, if the power distribution box 200 is mounted to a wall in a wall-mounted manner, the rotating base 20 may be switched to the second state, such that the socket holes 211 are oriented in the second direction B, and the second direction B and the second wall 202 are both oriented toward the bottom of the power distribution box 200 (in the embodiment of fig. 5), that is, the rotating base 20 is switched to the second state, such that the socket holes 211 are oriented toward the bottom of the power distribution box 200. When the rotation seat 20 is in the second state, the second through hole 2021 is formed in the second wall 202, and the rotation seat 20 may be disposed so as to pass through the second through hole 2021, so that the socket hole 211 may be exposed to the outside of the power distribution box 200 from the bottom of the power distribution box 200 in addition to being directed to the bottom of the power distribution box 200, so that the plug may be connected. In other embodiments, if the second wall 202 is a peripheral wall of a side of the electrical box 200, the orientation of the respective second direction B is the same as the respective side.

In summary, the first wall 201 of the power distribution box 200 is provided with a first through hole 2011, and the second wall 202 is provided with a second through hole 2021. The rotary base 20 may be switched to the first state or the second state according to the installation mode of the power distribution box 200, and the rotary base 20 may be selectively arranged based on the first state and the second state of the rotary base 20, so that the first wall surface 201 is penetrated through the first through hole 2011 to expose the socket hole 211 to the outside of the power distribution box 200, or the second wall surface 201 is penetrated through the second through hole 2021 to expose the socket hole 211 to the outside of the power distribution box 200.

In still another embodiment, when the rotary seat 20 is mounted inside the power distribution box 200 in the first state, the rotary seat 20 may be configured to be completely housed inside the power distribution box 200 instead of penetrating the first wall surface 201 through the first through hole 2011, and the socket hole 211 may be exposed from the first through hole 2011, and the plug may extend into the first through hole 2011 to be connected to the socket hole 211. Similarly, when the rotary base 20 is mounted in the power distribution box 200 in the second state, the rotary base 20 may be configured to be completely accommodated in the power distribution box 200 instead of penetrating the second wall surface 202 through the second through hole 2021, and the socket hole 211 may be exposed from the second through hole 2021, and the plug may extend into the second through hole 2021 to be connected to the socket hole 211.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, fig. 3 and 4 illustrate a case where the receptacle 100 is mounted outside the distribution box 200. In some embodiments, the receptacle 100 is mounted to the first exterior surface 231 of the electrical box 200. Of the outer surfaces of the distribution box 200, the outer surface connected to the receptacle 100 is a first outer surface 231. For example, when the power distribution box 200 is mounted on a wall, the surface of the power distribution box 200 connected to the wall is a back surface 233, the surface opposite to the back surface 233 of the power distribution box 200 is a front surface 232 of the power distribution box 200, and the front surface 232 and the back surface 233 are connected by four peripheral surfaces. If the receptacle 100 is mounted to the front 232 of the electrical box 200, the front 232 of the electrical box 200 is the first outer surface 231; if the socket 100 is mounted to one of four peripheral surfaces of the distribution box 200, the peripheral surface is the first outer surface 231. The case where the power distribution box 200 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape and the outer surface of the power distribution box 200 is one of four peripheral surfaces of the power distribution box 200 will be further described below as an example.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 illustrates a first state of the rotating base 20, where the first surface 21 faces the first direction a when the rotating base 20 is in the first state, and the first surface 21 is substantially perpendicular to the first outer surface 231 (as shown in fig. 1). Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 illustrates a second state of the rotating base 20, where the first surface 21 and the outer surface face the second direction B when the rotating base 20 is in the second state, and the first surface 21 is substantially parallel to the first outer surface 231.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the mounting base 10 includes a mounting surface 11 and a connection surface 12. The mounting surface 11 is connected to a first outer surface 231 (shown in fig. 1) of the distribution box 200, the connection surface 12 is connected to the mounting surface 11, the rotation seat 20 is rotatably connected to the connection surface 12, and the connection surface 12 is provided with a first fixing hole 121 and a second fixing hole 122. Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the rotating base 20 is provided with a connection hole 221, and the rotating base 20 can be maintained in a first state by penetrating the first fixing hole 121 and the connection hole 221 through the fastener 30, and in a second state by penetrating the second fixing hole 122 and the connection hole 221 through the fastener 30.

In the case that the rotation seat 20 rotates relative to the mount 10, the position of the connection hole 221 is changed according to the rotation of the rotation seat 20. In the case that the rotating base 20 is in the first state, the connection hole 221 is substantially aligned with the first fixing hole 121, and in this case, the position of the rotating base 20 can be fixed by connecting the mounting base 10 and the rotating base 20 through the fastener 30 penetrating the first fixing hole 121 and the connection hole 221, so that the rotating base 20 is maintained in the first state. If the rotation seat 20 is to be rotatable with respect to the mounting seat 10, the fastener 30 may be removed from the connection hole 221 and the first fixing hole 121. Similarly, in the case that the rotating base 20 is in the second state, the connection hole 221 is substantially aligned with the second fixing hole 122, in which case the mounting base 10 and the rotating base 20 are connected by the fastener 30 through the second fixing hole 122 and the connection hole 221, so that the rotating base 20 is maintained in the second state, and the locking of the rotating base 20 is released by removing the fastener 30, so that the rotating base 20 can rotate relative to the mounting base 10. In this way, the rotation seat 20 can be maintained in the first state or the second state by selectively penetrating the fastening member 30 through the connection hole 221 and the first fixing hole 121, or through the connection hole 221 and the second fixing hole 122. When the rotary base 20 is maintained in the first state or the second state, the fastening member 30 is removed to release the fixed state of the rotary base 20, and the rotary base 20 can be rotated relative to the mount base 10. The fasteners 30 may include, without limitation, bolts, studs, screws, pins, and the like.

Similarly, in another embodiment, the connection surface 12 may be provided with one fixing hole, and the rotating base 20 is provided with two connection holes 221 having different positions, and the two connection holes 221 having different positions are aligned with the fixing holes when the rotating base 20 is in the first state and the second state, respectively.

In some embodiments, the attachment surface 12 is substantially perpendicular to the mounting surface 11. The number of the connection surfaces 12 is two, and the two connection surfaces 12 are connected to different ends of the mounting surface 11 at intervals. That is, the two connection faces 12 stand up against the mounting face 11. The space between the two connection surfaces 12 can accommodate the rotating seat 20, and different ends of the rotating seat 20 are respectively rotatably connected to one of the two connection surfaces 12.

In one embodiment, the two ends of the rotating base 20 are respectively provided with a connecting hole 221, and the two connecting surfaces 12 are respectively provided with a first fixing hole 121 and a second fixing hole 122. In the case that the rotating base 20 is in the first state, the two fastening members 30 may be respectively inserted into the connecting holes 221 and the first fixing holes 121 at different ends of the rotating base 20 to fix the rotating base 20 to the mounting base 10. Thus, the two different ends of the rotating seat 20 are fixed and limited by the fastener 30, so that the rotating seat 20 can be maintained in the first state more stably. Similarly, in the case that the rotating base 20 is in the second state, the two fastening members 30 may be respectively inserted into the connecting holes 221 and the second fixing holes 122 at different ends of the rotating base 20 to fix the rotating base 20 to the mounting base 10, and since the different ends of the rotating base 20 are fixedly limited by the fastening members 30, the rotating base 20 can be more stably maintained in the second state.

In yet another embodiment, the swivel base 20 is provided with connection holes 221 at different ends, one of the two connection surfaces 12 is provided with a first fixing hole 121, and the other is provided with a second fixing hole 122. In the case that the rotating base 20 is in the first state, the connecting hole 221 and the first fixing hole 121 may be penetrated through the fastener 30 at one end of the rotating base 20 to fix the rotating base 20 to the mounting base 10; in the case that the rotating base 20 is in the second state, the connecting hole 221 and the second fixing hole 122 may be penetrated through the fastener 30 at the other end of the rotating base 20 to fix the rotating base 20 to the mounting base 10. That is, the two connection surfaces 12 are connected to the rotating base 20 in the first state and the second state of the rotating base 20, respectively. Thus, since the two connecting surfaces 12 are respectively provided with the first fixing hole 121 and the second fixing hole 122, the positions of the first fixing hole 121 and the second fixing hole 122 are different, a certain fool-proof effect can be achieved, and the phenomenon that the rotating seat 20 is connected with the mounting seat 10 is avoided.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the socket 100 further includes a rotation shaft 40, and the mounting base 10 and the rotation base 20 are rotatably connected by the rotation shaft 40.

Referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment, the rotating base 20 further includes a second surface 22, and the second surface 22 is substantially perpendicular to the first surface 21. The connection surface 12 of the mounting base 10 is provided with a first rotation shaft hole 123, the second surface 22 of the rotation base 20 is provided with a second rotation shaft hole 222, and the rotation shaft 40 penetrates through the first rotation shaft hole 123 and the second rotation shaft hole 222 to rotatably connect the mounting base 10 and the rotation base 20. The second surface 22 of the rotating base 20 is further provided with a first fixing hole 121 and a second fixing hole 122, and the first fixing hole 121 and the second fixing hole 122 are disposed around the second rotating shaft hole 222.

Referring to fig. 6, a first connection line L1 is provided between the first fixing hole 121 and the first rotation shaft hole 123, wherein the first connection line L1 is a connection line between a center of the first fixing hole 121 and a center of the first rotation shaft hole 123; a second connecting line L2 is arranged between the second fixing hole 122 and the first rotating shaft hole 123, and the second connecting line L2 is a connecting line between the center of the second fixing hole 122 and the center of the first rotating shaft hole 123; the first connection line L1 is substantially perpendicular to the second connection line L2. That is, the angle between the first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2 is about 90 °, the connection hole 221 is rotated from the position aligned with the first fixing hole 121 to the position aligned with the second fixing hole 122 by about 90 °, and the angle between the first direction a and the second direction B is about 90 °, so that the first surface 21 is also rotated from the position aligned with the first fixing hole 121 by about 90 ° to the position aligned with the second fixing hole 122 by about 90 ° from the first direction a to the second direction B.

In other embodiments, the included angle between the first direction a and the second direction B may be other than 90 °, and may be other angles. For example, the included angle between the first direction a and the second direction B is set to be θ1, the range of the included angle θ1 is [70 °,110 ° ], for example, the included angle θ1 may be 70 °, 75 °, 80 °, 85 °, 90 °, 95 °, 100 °, 105 °,110 °, and the like, which is not limited herein. Correspondingly, the angle of the included angle θ2 between the first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2 is substantially the same as the angle of the included angle θ1, so that the connection hole 221 can be aligned with the first fixing hole 121 or the second fixing hole 122, respectively, in the case that the mount 10 rotates by the angle θ1 to switch the first state and the second state.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the rotating base 20 can rotate about the rotating shaft 40 in the first rotating direction R1 to a first state or rotate about the rotating shaft 40 in the second rotating direction R2 to a second state. The mount 10 further includes a stop 13. Referring to fig. 7, the rotating base 20 includes a first limiting portion 25 and a second limiting portion 26, when the rotating base 20 is in a first state, the first limiting portion 25 cooperates with the limiting member 13 to prevent the rotating base 20 from rotating continuously in the first rotating direction R1, and when the rotating base 20 is in a second state, the second limiting portion 26 cooperates with the limiting member 13 to prevent the rotating base 20 from rotating continuously in the second rotating direction R2. In this way, when the first limiting portion 25 is engaged with the limiting member 13, it means that the rotating seat 20 has been rotated to the first state, and similarly, when the second limiting portion 26 is engaged with the limiting member 13, it means that the rotating seat 20 has been rotated to the second state, and it is not necessary to confirm whether the rotating seat 20 has been rotated to the first state or the second state by human eyes, which is easy to operate.

Further, in some embodiments, the first fixing hole 121 is substantially aligned with the connection hole 221 with the first stopper 25 engaged with the stopper 13, and the second fixing hole 122 is substantially aligned with the connection hole 221 with the second stopper 26 engaged with the stopper 13. In this way, when the first limiting portion 25 is engaged with the limiting member 13, it means that the rotating base 20 has been rotated to the first state, and the first fixing hole 121 is substantially aligned with the connecting hole 221, and only the fastener 30 is required to penetrate the first fixing hole 121 and the connecting hole 221 to maintain the rotating base 20 in the first state. Therefore, when the first limiting part 25 is matched with the limiting piece 13, the first fixing hole 121 is automatically aligned with the connecting hole 221, and the first fixing hole 121 and the connecting hole 221 do not need to be manually aligned, so that the operation is simple and convenient. Similarly, when the second limiting portion 26 is engaged with the limiting member 13, it means that the rotating base 20 has been rotated to the second state, and the second fixing hole 122 is substantially aligned with the connecting hole 221, and only the fastener 30 is required to penetrate the second fixing hole 122 and the connecting hole 221 to maintain the rotating base 20 in the second state. Therefore, when the second limiting part 26 is matched with the limiting piece 13, the second fixing hole 122 is automatically aligned with the connecting hole 221, and the second fixing hole 122 and the connecting hole 221 do not need to be manually aligned, so that the operation is simple and convenient.

In some embodiments, the limiting member 13 is disposed on the connecting surface 12, the second surface 22 is provided with a limiting chute 24, the limiting chute 24 is at least partially arc-shaped, and the limiting member 13 can slide in the limiting chute 24 when the rotating seat 20 rotates relative to the mounting seat 10. The first limiting portion 25 and the second limiting portion 26 are located on the inner side wall of the limiting chute 24.

Wherein, the limiting piece 13 can be a part integrated with the connecting surface 12, and the limiting piece 13 extends from the inner side of the connecting surface 12; the stopper 13 may be a separate member attached to the inner side of the second surface 22. In the case that the rotating seat 20 is rotatably connected with the mounting seat 10, the limiting piece 13 is at least partially located in the limiting chute 24, and when the rotating seat 20 rotates relative to the mounting seat 10, the limiting piece 13 is driven to slide in the limiting chute 24.

In one embodiment, based on the angle between the first connection line L1 and the second connection line L2 being about 90 °, the arcuate portion of the limiting chute 24 is about a quarter circle, the first limiting portion 25 is located on the inner side wall of one end of the quarter circle, and the second limiting portion 26 is located on the inner side wall of the other end of the quarter circle. In this way, when the limiting member 13 abuts against the first limiting portion 25, the limiting member 13 rotates 90 ° along with the rotating seat 20 along the second rotating direction R2 and can abut against the second limiting portion 26, so that the rotation of the limiting member 13 along the second rotating direction R2 is limited; correspondingly, when the limiting member 13 abuts against the first limiting portion 25, the limiting member 13 rotates 90 ° along with the rotating seat 20 along the second rotating direction R2 and can abut against the second limiting portion 26, so that the rotation of the limiting member 13 along the second rotating direction R2 is limited.

On the basis that the first limiting part 25 and the second limiting part 26 can be matched with the limiting part 13 respectively to limit the rotating seat 20 to the first state or the second state, the limiting part 13 is at least partially positioned in the limiting sliding groove 24, the first limiting part 25 and the second limiting part 26 are positioned on the inner side wall of the limiting sliding groove 24, a movable space is provided for the limiting part 13 during rotation along with the rotating seat 20 through the limiting sliding groove 24, no additional movable space is needed between the second surface 22 and the connecting surface 12 for the movement of the limiting part 13, a smaller interval distance can be configured between the second surface 22 and the connecting surface 12, and even the second surface 22 is tightly attached to the connecting surface 12. In this way, the second surface 22 may be disposed closer to the connection surface 12, on the one hand, so that the fastener 30 may be inserted through the connection hole 221 of the second surface 22 and the first fixing hole 121 or the second fixing hole 122 of the connection surface 12 to connect the second surface 22 and the connection surface 12, and on the other hand, so that the swivel base 20 may have a larger lateral dimension.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the rotating base 20 is provided with an opening 28, for example, the rotating base 20 is rectangular, one surface of the rotating base 20 is open, and the other 5 surfaces enclose the opening 28. The mounting surface 11 is provided with routing holes 112, the routing holes 112 being adapted for the passage of cables so that the cables can extend from the opening 28 into the swivel base 20. Wherein the opening 28 faces the first outer surface 231 of the power distribution box 200 when the rotating base 20 is in the second state. The number of the routing holes 112 may be set according to the positions of the cables in the distribution box 200 and the number of the cables extending into the receptacle 100, for example, the number of the routing holes 112 may be 1, 2, 3, 4 or more, which is not limited herein.

In one embodiment, the first outer surface 231 of the electrical box 200 is provided with a wire through hole 2311, and in the case that the mounting base 10 is mounted on the first outer surface 231 of the electrical box 200, the wire through hole 2311 of the first outer surface 231 corresponds to the position of the wire through hole 112 of the mounting surface 11, so that the cable in the electrical box 200 can pass through the wire through hole 2311 and the wire through hole 112 and extend into the rotating base 20 from the opening 28.

When the power distribution box 200 is mounted on a wall surface in a wall-mounted manner, the rotary base 20 is correspondingly switched to be connected to the mounting base 10 in the second state, and the first surface 21 faces the second direction B, and the opening 28 faces the first outer surface 231. In this manner, the cable may pass through the via 2311, the trace hole 112 and the opening 28 in order to extend into the rotating seat 20 along a substantially straight path.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, when the power distribution box 200 is mounted on a wall surface in an embedded manner, the rotary base 20 is correspondingly switched to be connected to the mounting base 10 in a first state, and the first surface 21 faces the first direction a, and the opening 28 faces the wall surface correspondingly. At this time, the surface of the rotating seat 20 adjacent to the first outer surface 231 is the third surface 23 of the rotating seat 20, the third surface 23 of the rotating seat 20 is connected to the first surface 21 of the rotating seat 20 and the second surface 22 of the rotating seat 20, the third surface 23 of the rotating seat 20 is substantially perpendicular to the first surface 21 of the rotating seat 20, and the third surface 23 of the rotating seat 20 is substantially perpendicular to the second surface 22 of the rotating seat 20. In order to avoid the third surface 23 from blocking the routing hole 112 when the rotation seat 20 is in the second state, the rotation seat 20 may be disposed at a position where the rotation seat 10 is mounted and at a position where the routing hole 112 is disposed on the mounting surface 11, so that the routing hole 112 is exposed to the third surface 23 when the rotation seat 20 is in the first state. In this manner, the cable may pass through the via 2311 and the trace hole 112 in sequence along a substantially straight path, with a degree of bending at the trace hole 112 to extend from the opening 28 into the swivel base 20.

In one embodiment, the mounting surface 11 includes first and second opposite sides 114, 115, and in the case of the electrical box 200 being mounted to a wall, the first side 114 of the mounting surface 11 is the side closer to the wall and the second side 115 of the mounting surface 11 is the side farther from the wall. The wiring hole 112 is formed near a first side 114 of the mounting surface 11, and the rotating base 20 is connected to an end of the mounting base 10 away from the wall body. In this way, when the rotary seat 20 is in the first state, the third surface 23 can be located away from the routing hole 112 as far as possible, so as to avoid shielding the routing hole 112 as far as possible, and ensure that the cable can pass through the routing hole 112 and extend into the rotary seat 20 from the opening 28.

Referring to fig. 1, the present application further provides a power distribution device, where the power distribution device includes a power distribution box 200 and the socket 100 according to any one of the foregoing embodiments, and the socket 100 is mounted on the first outer surface 231 of the power distribution box 200. Thus, the socket holes 211 are exposed out of the distribution box 200, so that the distribution box 200 does not need to be opened when a connection plug is needed, and the connection plug is convenient.

In some embodiments, the exterior surface of the electrical box 200 includes a back surface 233, a front surface 232 opposite the back surface 233, and a plurality of peripheral surfaces connecting the back surface 233 and the front surface 232, one of the plurality of peripheral surfaces being the first exterior surface 231 of the electrical box 200. The direction of the socket hole 211 is the same as that of the front surface 232 when the rotary base 20 is in the first state, and therefore, when the power distribution box 200 is installed in a wall body in an embedded installation mode, the socket hole 211 is not shielded by the wall body. When the power distribution box 200 is mounted on a wall surface in a wall-mounted manner, the socket holes 211 are not blocked by the wall body because the socket holes 211 and the first outer surface 231 face the same direction when the rotating base 20 is in the second state. In this manner, the swivel base 20 can be selectively configured in the first state or the second state according to the installation manner of the power distribution box 200, so that the orientation of the socket hole 211 is adapted to the installation manner of the power distribution box 200.
