The receiving groove 102 may be opened on an outer surface of the mounting base 100, and may be used for mounting the conductive element 300, so that the conductive element 300 may be screwed out of the receiving groove 102 to be electrically connected with the socket 20, or screwed into the receiving groove 102 to be received. For example, the mounting base 100 may have a first surface 103, the receiving groove 102 may be opened from a side of the first surface 103, and when the conductive element 300 is screwed out of the receiving groove 102 to be electrically connected to the socket 20, the first surface 103 may be attached to the contact surface 21 of the socket 20.

Further, the decorative shell 140 may be disposed on the outer surfaces of the front shell 120 and the bottom shell 130, and may be used to cover a gap or a flaw that may exist after the front shell 120 and the bottom shell 130 are connected, so as to improve the waterproof performance and the aesthetic appearance of the mounting base 100. Meanwhile, in order to prevent the decorative shell 140 from blocking the conductive element 300 from being screwed out of the receiving slot 102, a corresponding opening may be further formed in a region of the decorative shell 140 corresponding to the receiving slot 102 to avoid the conductive element 300. Optionally, the design of the decorative cover 140 may also be eliminated to reduce the production cost of the power adapter 10. In addition, the detachable design of the mounting base 100 can be limited to the front shell 120, the bottom shell 130 and the decoration shell 140, and the specific structure thereof can be adjusted according to the design requirement, only the mounting base 100 can have the wiring space 101, the receiving groove 102 and the rotating shaft 110, which is not limited in this embodiment.
