Abstract

A power charging socket according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure is inlaid in a supporting body. The power charging socket includes a power socket module and a panel. The power socket module includes a power port exposed out of the panel. The power charging socket further includes a USB charging module and a baffle plate. The USB charging module includes a charging port exposed out of the panel. A wireless charging transmitter is located inside the baffle plate. One end of the baffle plate is rotatably connected with a bottom of the panel, and another end of the baffle plate is detachably connected with the panel. The baffle plate closes the panel to cover the power port and the charging port.
