Therefore, the directions and positions used are used to illustrate and understand the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0033] refer to Figures 1 to 7The present invention provides a frameless switch socket, including a switch function part 101 and a socket function part 102, a mounting plate 2, a mounting frame 3 and a panel 4. The switch function part 101 and the socket function part 102 are both snap-fitted with the mounting plate 2, and also include a bracket 5. The bracket 5 has an installation opening 501 in the middle for inserting the frameless switch socket. The bracket 5 forms a single-unit bracket 5 or a multi-unit bracket 5 according to the number of switches or sockets arranged side by side as required, and usually a maximum of five units can be set. In this embodiment, the bracket 5 is two-unit, so two installation openings 501 are opened, that is, two switches and / or socket function parts 102 are installed. Specifically, in this embodiment, one switch function part 101 and one socket function part 102 are set. The side walls of the switch function part 101 and the socket function part 102 are provided with a third claw 103, and the third claw 103 is engaged with the mounting frame 3, and the mounting plate 2 is clamped between the mounting frame 3 and the switch and / or socket function part 102, so that the mounting plate 2, the switch and / or socket function part 102 and the mounting plate 2 are all formed with a stable engagement, so that the switch and / or socket function part 102 does not move easily. The panel 4 includes a switch panel 402 and a socket panel 406, and the switch panel 402 is rotatably engaged with the mounting frame 3. The two sides of the switch panel 402 are provided with a rotation guide surface 403, and the rotation guide edge has two inclined surfaces 404. When the switch panel 402 rotates downward, one of the inclined surfaces 404 abuts against the edge of the mounting frame 3, and when the switch panel 402 rotates upward, the other inclined surface 404 abuts against the edge of the mounting frame 3. The design of the rotation guide surface 403 makes the panel 4 rotate along the mounting frame 3 more smoothly. The bracket 5 is located on the inner side of the mounting frame 3 facing the wall. The bracket 5 is provided with a positioning pin 503 on the diagonal line of the mounting opening 501, and a first mounting hole 504 is provided on the other diagonal line; the mounting frame 3 and the mounting plate 2 are both provided with a positioning hole 6 adapted to the positioning pin 503 and a second mounting hole 7 adapted to the first mounting hole 504, and the mounting plate 2 is screwed to the mounting frame 3 and the bracket 5 through the first mounting hole 504 and the second mounting hole 7. Users sometimes encounter a situation where the switch socket cannot be installed in the base box adapted to it. At this time, the first mounting hole 504 and the second mounting hole 7 can be used to fix the switch socket on the base box or the wall. The adjacent switch function parts 101 and the socket function parts 102 fit closely. From the front, there is no extra wall exposed between the switch panel 402 and the socket panel 406, which increases the aesthetics. From the side, only the side of the mounting frame 3, the bracket 5 and the switch function parts 101 or the socket function parts 102 can be seen, without extra edging, which has a more integrated feel.

[0034] The mounting frame 3 and the switch function part 101 are located on the same axis and are provided with a rotating shaft 8. The panel 4 is provided with a notch 9 that rotates along the rotating shaft 8. The panel 4 is covered on the mounting frame 3 and completely covers the surface facing the wall to form a frameless shape. The lower edge of the mounting frame 3 is bent outward to form a first arc edge 301, and the lower edge of the panel 4 is bent inward to form a second arc edge 401. The first arc edge 301 and the second arc edge 401 are abutted to form a transitional arc surface. The bracket 5 forms a third arc edge 502 outward, and the end surface of the mounting frame 3 facing the third arc edge 502 is provided with an arc groove 302 for inserting the third arc edge 502. The third arc edge 502 on the bracket 5 is inserted into the installation frame 3, and the bracket 5 is used to hold the installation frame 3 to form a support for the installation frame 3, so that the installation frame 3 and the bracket 5 are installed more stably, and at the same time, the first arc edge 301, the second arc edge 401 and the third arc edge 502 form a transitional arc surface as a whole, which is more concise and beautiful, and has a better feel when used. From the side, the arc surface forms a shape similar to the side of a book. When the switch panel 402 is pressed downward, it is similar to the shape of an open book. When the switch panel 402 is pressed upward, it is similar to the shape of a closed book. The design of the arc surface can also prevent the user from touching the raised right angle when touching the lower edge of the panel 4 during operation, which is not easy to hurt the user's hand, and the operation feel is also better. In addition, when a child with a shorter height walks along the wall, it is easy for the head to hit the lower edge of the switch socket. The setting of the arc surface can reduce bump damage.

[0035] Two positioning pieces 303 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the mounting frame 3. The first claw 304 is provided on the side of the positioning piece 303 facing the mounting plate 2. The first claw 304 is fixedly connected with the mounting plate 2.
