Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic device installation, and particularly to an electronic device and an installation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the smart home field, more and more intelligent electronic devices in various forms (such as intelligent switches, intelligent sockets, intelligent gateways, etc.) have entered people's daily lives. Due to their powerful functionality - that is, integrating bus technology, communication technology, computer technology, microelectronics technology, etc., more precise integrated circuit designs are added to the hardware, and more complex functional and protective designs are available in the product structure. The design schemes and installation methods of traditional electronic devices can no longer meet the installation requirements of intelligent electronic devices.

[0003] In related technologies, some installation methods usually divide the electronic device main body into two parts. The first part is fixed on a connecting piece and installed in a box body, and the connecting piece is fixed to the box body by screws; the second part is exposed outside the box body.

[0072] As mentioned above, the installation method mentioned in the background technology has at least the following disadvantages: 1) The main body of the electronic device is divided into two parts, which destroys the integrity of the main body of the electronic device, thus reducing the protection of the main body of the electronic device; 2) In the actual installation operation process of this installation method, external tools must be used to separate the two parts of the main body of the electronic device. This not only increases the installation complexity of the main body of the electronic device, but also because external tools are needed, it is easy to cause scratches or damage to the surface of the device during the installation or disassembly of the main body of the electronic device.

[0073] Note: There seems to be a duplicate tag

[0069] in the original text which is marked with * in the translation for identification.In an embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device includes an electronic device body and a connector, wherein the housing of the electronic device body is provided with a cable socket and a first mounting portion, the connector is provided with a second mounting portion, the second mounting portion is detachably connected to the first mounting portion, at least a portion of the housing is provided in the box body, the cable socket is located in the box body, one end of the cable socket is used to connect to the circuit board located in the housing, and the other end is used to detachably connect to the cable located in the box body. The electronic device body provided by the above technical solution has a cable socket provided on the housing, so there is no need to lead the cable connected to the circuit board in the housing out of the housing during installation. Therefore, the electronic device body can be installed as a whole and it is also convenient for the electronic device body to be connected to the cable pre-buried in the box body to ensure the complete independence of the electronic device body. In addition, by providing the second mounting portion of the connector to be detachably connected to the first mounting portion of the electronic device body, the installation and separation of the electronic device body can be easily achieved.

[0074] The electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0075] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device, which may include an electronic device body 1 and a connector 2, wherein:

[0076] The electronic device body 1 includes a shell 11, which is provided with a cable socket 11a and a first mounting portion; the connector 2 is provided with a second mounting portion 2a, which is detachably connected to the first mounting portion, and the connector 2 is used to be installed on an external box body 3 (that is, the box body 3 is not part of the electronic device). At least part of the shell 11 is provided in the box body 3, and the cable socket 11a is located in the box body 3. One end of the cable socket 11a is used to connect to the circuit board located in the shell 11, and the other end is used to be detachably connected to the cable located in the box body 3.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, since the electronic device has a cable socket 11a arranged on the shell 11, there is no need to lead the cable connected to the circuit board (not shown in the figure) in the shell 11 out of the shell 11 during installation. Therefore, the electronic device body 1 can be installed as a whole and it is also convenient for the electronic device body 1 to be connected to the cable (not shown in the figure) pre-buried in the box body 3 to ensure the complete independence of the electronic device body 1; at the same time, by setting the second mounting portion 2a of the connector 2 to be detachably connected to the first mounting portion of the electronic device body 1, the installation and separation of the electronic device body 1 can be easily achieved.

[0078] Regarding the installation method mentioned in the background technology, dividing the electronic device body into two parts specifically has the following disadvantages: 11) It reduces the protection level of the overall EMC, ESD, etc. of the electronic device body, especially for the intelligent electronic device body with an internal integrated high-precision circuit board design, which itself has higher requirements for EMC and ESD; 12) During the installation process, the two parts of the electronic device body need to be separated, and external dust or solid particles can easily enter the inner cavity of the electronic device body, especially when installed on a vertical wall. When alkaline dust enters the integrated circuit board of the electronic device body, it will corrode the integrated circuit and electronic devices, which will increase the failure rate of the electronic device body, and also It will reduce the service life of the electronic device body; 13) During the installation process, the fasteners of the second part and the connector need to be tightened, so the operation must be performed after the two parts of the electronic device body are separated, which may cause damage to the electronic device body; 14) The electronic device body is divided into two parts, which need to be connected through cables and the circuit board inside the electronic device body, which not only adds additional costs, but also increases the difficulty of installing the electronic device body; in addition, due to the high degree of integration of the circuit board of the intelligent electronic device body, the connection work of the circuit board puts higher training requirements on the installers, otherwise it is easy to cause functional failure of the circuit board or even damage to the electronic device body.

[0079] The electronic device body 1 provided in the embodiment of the present invention is installed as a whole on the connecting member 2, and in order to facilitate the installation prepared by the installer, a cable socket 11a is provided on the shell 11 of the electronic device body 1, so that the electronic device body 1 can solve the shortcomings existing in the above-mentioned related technologies, and thus has the following advantages: a) The protection level of the electronic device body 1 is improved, which is beneficial to improving the physical protection, EMC and ESD protection of the internal integrated circuit board and electronic devices of the electronic device body 1, and improving the dustproof and waterproof (or moisture-proof) level requirements of the electronic device body 1; b) The cable socket 11a is used to replace the cable connected to the internal circuit board, thereby reducing the risk of connection failure, and also facilitating the connection of the electronic device body 1 with the cable pre-buried in the box body 3; c) By setting the second mounting part 2a of the connecting member 2 to be detachably connected to the first mounting part of the electronic device body 1, the installation and separation of the electronic device body 1 can be easily achieved.

[0080] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2, the main body 1 of the electronic device further includes a control panel 12 disposed on the housing 11. The area of the control panel 12 covers the part of the exposed box body 3 of the main body 1 of the electronic device, so as to enhance the appearance effect of the main body 1 of the electronic device. The housing 11 of the main body 1 of the electronic device is further provided with a limiting groove 112c, and a limiting portion 31 is further provided in the box body 3. During the installation process of the main body 1 of the electronic device, the limiting groove 112c can be quickly positioned and installed with the main body 1 of the electronic device through the cooperation with the limiting portion 31, thereby improving the accuracy of the installation of the main body 1 of the electronic device and the box body 3.

[0081] The connecting member 2 may be a plate-like structure. For example, it can be made by an integral molding process or a cutting process. The plate-like structure is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the connecting member 2 after being installed on the box body 3. Of course, the connecting member 2 may also be other structures that can respectively connect with the main body 1 of the electronic device and the box body 3, which will not be elaborated here. In the embodiment of the present invention, the connecting member 2 is provided with a second through hole 212, and the limiting portion 31 is provided with a threaded hole 32. The connecting member 2 is fixedly connected to the box body 3 through a threaded member 23. Specifically, the threaded member 23 passes through the second through hole 212 and is fixed in the threaded hole 32, where the threaded member 23 may be a screw, a bolt, etc. Of course, the connecting member 2 may also be fixed to the box body 3 by other fixing methods, such as snap connection, which will not be elaborated here.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion 2a are detachably connected. For example, they can be connected by snap connection, magnetic attraction, or bonding. When the detachable connection is achieved by snap connection, one of the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion 2a can act as a snap, and the other can act as a slot, which will not be specifically limited here; when the detachable connection is achieved by magnetic attraction, one of the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion 2a can be magnetic (for example, provided with a magnet), and the other can be made of iron-containing material or also be magnetic, which will not be specifically limited here. Moreover, when the detachable connection is achieved by snap connection, the main body 1 of the electronic device can also be rotated by an angle to achieve the fixation of the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion 2a. The specific structures of the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion 2a will not be specifically described here.

[0083] In some embodiments, the housing 11 includes a first housing 111 disposed outside the box body 3 and a second housing 112 disposed inside the box body 3. The first housing 111 is fixed to the second housing 112. The cable socket 11a is disposed on the second housing 112, and the first mounting portion 11b is disposed on the first housing 111 and / or the second housing 112. Of course, the housing 11 can also be made by an integrally formed method, that is, it is not divided into the first housing 111 and the second housing 112. When the housing 11 includes the first housing 111 and the second housing 112, it is beneficial to the assembly and molding of the main body 1 of the electronic device (here it does not refer to when the main body 1 of the electronic device is installed on the connecting member 2, but refers to the assembly and molding of the main body 1 of the electronic device on the production line). Among them, the second housing 112 is provided with a limiting groove 112c, that is, most of the second housing 112 is located inside the box body 3, while the first housing 111 is exposed outside the box body 3, and the control panel 12 is connected to the first housing 111.

[0084] In some embodiments, the connecting member 2 includes a flat portion 21 and a flanging portion 22. The interior of the flat portion 21 has a first through hole 211 for the second housing 112 to pass through. The flanging portion 22 is formed on one side of the flat portion 21 close to the first through hole 211 and extends in the direction of the box body 3. The flat portion 21 and the flanging portion 22 form a second mounting portion 2a. The first mounting portion includes a buckle 11b1. The buckle 11b1 is disposed on the second housing 112, and the second mounting portion 2a is detachably connected to the first mounting portion through the buckle 11b1. In this embodiment, by providing the flanging portion 22, the stress area between the connecting member 2 and the first mounting portion can be increased (for specific description, see below). Of course, the connecting member 2 may not be provided with the flanging portion 22, that is, the connecting member 2 can be detachably connected to the first mounting portion only through the flat portion 21. In other embodiments, the buckle 11b1 can also be disposed on the first housing 111, as long as the limiting effect on the connecting member 2 can be achieved. Among them, the buckle 11b1 can be in the form of a limiting protrusion or in the form of a claw. In the embodiments of the present invention, the buckle 11b1 is described as a limiting protrusion.

[0085] Such as Figures 3 to 6As shown, in some embodiments, the first mounting portion 11b further includes a card slot 11b2 located at an end of the buckle 11b1 away from the box body 3; the first housing 111 is provided with a first card slot 111a1, and the second housing 112 is provided with a second card slot 112b1. The first card slot 111a1 and the second card slot 112b1 form the card slot 11b2; the second mounting portion 2a is disposed in the card slot 11b2, and the flanging portion 22 abuts against the buckle 11b1. By abutting the flanging portion 22 against the buckle 11b1, the stress area between the connecting member 2 and the first mounting portion 11b can be increased, thereby increasing the fixing effect between the connecting member 2 and the electronic device main body 1. In this embodiment, the first mounting portion 11b adopts a combination of the buckle 11b1 and the card slot 11b2 to achieve detachable connection of the second mounting portion 2a. Compared with relying only on the buckle 11b1 or the card slot 11b2, the fixing effect of the first mounting portion 11b is more reliable.

[0086] Moreover, by providing the first card slot 111a1 in the first housing 111, when the electronic device main body 1 and the connecting member 2 are installed, the user cannot see the connecting member 2 from the outside (that is, the second mounting portion 2a (or the connecting member 2) will be hidden between the first housing 111 and the wall 4), thereby ensuring the overall aesthetics after the installation of the electronic device main body 1. Of course, the first housing 111 may not be provided with the first card slot 111a1, that is, after the second mounting portion 2a is installed on the first mounting portion 11b, the second mounting portion 2a (or the connecting member 2) will be exposed between the first housing 111 and the wall 4.

[0087] In some embodiments, a first guiding surface 221 is provided at an end of the flanging portion 22 connected to the flat portion 21, and a second guiding surface 222 is provided at an end of the flanging portion 22 abutting against the buckle 11b1. Providing the first guiding surface 221 is beneficial to the installation of the connecting member 2 and the electronic device main body 1, and providing the second guiding surface 222 is beneficial to the disassembly of the connecting member 2 and the electronic device main body 1. The first guiding surface 221 and the second guiding surface 222 can be inclined surfaces or arc surfaces, as long as they can achieve the function of facilitating the installation and disassembly of the connecting member 2 and the electronic device main body 1.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the first housing 111 includes a straight surface portion 111a and an inclined surface portion 111b. The straight surface portion 111a is provided with a first card slot 111a1, and the straight surface portion 111a is fixed to the second housing 112. The inclined surface portion 111b is connected to the straight surface portion 111a, and the included angle A between the inclined surface portion 111b and the extension direction of the straight surface portion 111a is 40° - 70°. By providing the inclined surface portion 111b, it is beneficial to disassemble the main body 1 of the electronic device. That is, in this embodiment, the disassembly of the main body 1 of the electronic device can be achieved without external tools (only by the operator's hand), so that the appearance of the main body 1 of the electronic device can be ensured not to be damaged. That is to say, by providing the inclined surface portion 111b, the included angle space between the inclined surface portion 111b and the wall 4 can accommodate the fingertips, and the inclined surface portion 111b can be used as a force fulcrum for pulling out the main body 1 of the electronic device outward. According to the principle of force decomposition, a component force in the same direction as the pulling-out direction will surely be generated, so that the disassembly of the main body 1 of the electronic device becomes easier.

[0089] In addition, to ensure the thinness and lightness of the part of the main body 1 of the electronic device disposed outside the box body 3, in some embodiments, the distance L from the control panel 12 to the straight surface portion 111a is 10 mm - 20 mm, that is, the distance L from the control panel 12 to the wall 4 is 10 mm - 20 mm.

[0090] In addition, to ensure the aesthetics and heat dissipation of the part of the main body 1 of the electronic device disposed outside the box body 3, the first housing 111 can be made of aluminum alloy material. In the embodiments of the present invention, since it is necessary to avoid the pollution of the circuit board in the main body 1 of the electronic device by dust or particles, the housing 11 of the main body 1 of the electronic device will not be provided with heat dissipation holes. Therefore, it is necessary to consider changing the manufacturing material of the first housing 111. The outer shell of the general electronic device main body is made of plastic material, so it cannot meet the requirements of heat dissipation. However, the first housing 111 provided in the embodiments of the present invention is made of aluminum alloy material, which can not only ensure the aesthetics of the part of the main body 1 of the electronic device disposed outside the box body 3, but also ensure that the main body 1 of the electronic device has good heat dissipation.

[0091] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the second housing 112 includes a main body portion 112a and a clamping portion 112b. The cable socket 11a is disposed on the main body portion 112a. The clamping portion 112b is connected to the main body portion 112a. The buckle 11b1 is disposed on the clamping portion 112b, and the second card slot 112b1 is formed on the clamping portion 112b. The clamping portion 112 is connected to the straight surface portion 111a, so that the first card slot 111a1 and the second card slot 112b1 form a card slot 11b2 to facilitate the accommodation of the second mounting portion 2a.

[0092] In the embodiments of the present invention, the manufacturing materials of the main body portion 112a and the clamping portion 112b may be the same or different. When the manufacturing materials of the two are the same, the clamping portion 112b and the main body portion 112a can form the second housing 112 by injection molding, that is to say, both are made of plastic materials, so as to increase the elasticity of the clamping portion 112. When the manufacturing materials of the two are different, the clamping portion 112b can be made of an elastic metal material (such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.), and the main body portion 112a can be made of plastic material, that is to say, the clamping portion 112b and the main body portion 112a can be formed by in-mold injection molding.

[0093] In some embodiments, the number of the first mounting portions 11b is at least two, and the first mounting portions 11b are uniformly arranged on the housing 11. With such an arrangement, when the electronic device main body 1 is installed and disassembled, the force is more evenly distributed. For example, the number of the first mounting portions 11b can be two, four, six, eight, etc., that is, the number of the first mounting portions 11b can be selected as an even number. Of course, the number of the first mounting portions 11b can also be one, or an odd number.

[0094] The electronic device main body 1 provided by the embodiments of the present invention can be devices such as a smart switch, a smart socket, a smart gateway, etc., which will not be enumerated one by one here. The box body 3 provided by the embodiments of the present invention can be an 86-type or 80-type standard box body, and of course it can also be a non-standard box body, which is not specifically limited here.

[0095] Regarding the installation method mentioned in the background art, the following disadvantages still exist: 3) During the installation process, external tools are required to separate the two parts of the electronic device body. To make the separation relatively easy, structural features are usually reserved on the outer surface of the electronic device body as tool force application points. This force application structure feature is generally a groove-shaped structure and is distributed on the side surface of the electronic device body. Due to the certain depth of this groove-shaped structure, it will become a dust collection place for the electronic device body, making it difficult to maintain the electronic device body; 4) The connecting member is usually installed in the box body through M4 screws and is required to withstand a large locking force and not deform. Therefore, to meet the strength requirements of the connecting member, one is formed by punching a metal steel plate material, and the other is achieved by a rib design with a plastic material. For the former, it is difficult for the surface process of the metal sheet stamping forming of the connecting member to reach the surface process of the interaction body of the electronic device body with CNC or injection molding and spraying, which will become a shortcoming of the surface process of the electronic device body; or the connecting member is directly processed by CNC, which will increase the cost. For the latter, the rib design requires a larger design space, which will lead to an increase in the volume of the electronic device body, thus not meeting the development trend of the extremely delicate and smart electronic device body; 5) The connecting member has become a part of the electronic device body. Due to specific requirements for its material, strength, surface process, and dimensions, it reduces the freedom of innovation in the industrial design of the entire electronic device body and becomes an obstacle on the road of industrial design innovation of the smart electronic device body; 6) It is very inconvenient to disassemble the electronic device body after installation. Similarly, external tools are required to separate the two parts, disassemble the connecting cable, loosen the fixing screws, and disassemble the connecting member from the box body. The disassembly process of the device is very troublesome. During the disassembly process, the electronic device body is separated, resulting in multiple pluggings and unplugging of electronic components such as the circuit board inside it, reducing the device protection and increasing the failure risk and damage rate.

[0096] Moreover, the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present invention also has the following advantages: d) The box body 3 is pre-embedded in the wall body 4, the connecting member 2 is installed in the box body 3 through the threaded member 23, and the electronic device body 1 is detachably connected to the connecting member 2 by a clamping or magnetic attraction connection method. In this way, when disassembling the electronic device body 1, it is not necessary to first disassemble the two parts of the electronic device body, making the assembly of the electronic device body 1 simple, safe, fast, and reliable, and there is no risk of any connection failure and damage to the electronic device body 1; e) The disassembly of the electronic device body 1 does not require external tools. Just hold the inclined surface part 111b (i.e., the part exposed outside the wall) of the electronic device body 1 by hand and apply an outward force to separate the electronic device body 1 from the connecting member 2. Similarly, when installing the electronic device body 1, it is also possible to hold the inclined surface part 111b of the electronic device body 1 by hand and apply an inward force to fix the electronic device body 1 to the connecting member 2. In this way, there is no risk of any connection failure and damage to the electronic device body 1.

[0097] For ease of understanding, the installation process and disassembly process of the electronic device provided in the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0098] <Installation process>

[0099] First, embed the box body 3 in the wall body 4;

[0100] Then, install the connecting member 2 onto the box body 3 through the threaded member 23. At this time, the connecting member 2 is exposed outside the wall body 4;

[0101] Finally, connect the cable reserved in the box body 3 to the corresponding cable socket 11a on the electronic device main body 1, and manually install the electronic device main body 1 onto the connecting member 2. For example, when hearing a "click" sound (this sound is emitted when the cable reserved in the box body 3 is connected to the corresponding cable socket 11a on the electronic device main body 1) or when the electronic device main body 1 cannot move, it means that the installation of the electronic device main body 1 is successful. At this time, the exposed connecting member 2 is wrapped between the electronic device main body 1 and the wall body 4.

[0102] The above installation process is simple, convenient, and reliable, and at the same time can improve the protection and safeguarding of the electronic device main body 1.

[0103] <Disassembly process>

[0104] First, manually disassemble the electronic device main body 1 from the connecting member 2;

[0105] Then, disassemble the cable reserved in the box body 3 from the corresponding cable socket 11a on the electronic device main body 1.

[0106] The above disassembly process is simple, convenient, and reliable, and at the same time can improve the protection and safeguarding of the electronic device main body 1.

[0107] In addition, as Figure 7 shown, the embodiments of the present invention also provide an installation method for an electronic device. The electronic device mentioned above can be installed using this installation method. The installation method for this electronic device includes the following steps:

[0108] S1. Install the connecting member 2 onto the box body 3;

[0109] S2. Insert the cable located in the box body 3 into the corresponding cable socket 11a;

[0110] S3. Install the electronic device main body 1 onto the connecting member 2 so that the second installation portion 2a is fixed to the first installation portion 11b.

[0111] In an embodiment of the present invention, the installation method of the electronic device sets the cable socket 11a on the shell 11, so there is no need to lead the cable connected to the circuit board (not shown in the figure) in the shell 11 out of the shell 11 during installation. Therefore, the electronic device body 1 can be installed as a whole and it is also convenient for the electronic device body 1 to be connected to the cable (not shown in the figure) pre-buried in the box body 3 to ensure the complete independence of the electronic device body 1; at the same time, by setting the second installation part 2a of the connecting part 2 to be fixed with the first installation part 11b of the electronic device body 1, the installation of the electronic device body 1 can be easily achieved.

[0112] In summary, the electronic devices provided by the present invention have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0113] 1. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the cable socket 11a is set on the shell 11 of the electronic device, there is no need to lead the cable connected to the circuit board (not shown in the figure) in the shell 11 out of the shell 11 during installation. Therefore, the electronic device body 1 can be installed as a whole and it is also convenient to connect the electronic device body 1 with the cable (not shown in the figure) pre-buried in the box body 3 to ensure the complete independence of the electronic device body 1; at the same time, by providing the second mounting portion 2a of the connector 2 to be detachably connected to the first mounting portion of the electronic device body 1, the electronic device body 1 can be easily installed and separated.

[0114] 2. In this embodiment of the present invention, the contact between the flange portion 22 and the buckle 11b1 increases the force-bearing area between the connector 2 and the first mounting portion 11b, thereby enhancing the securing effect between the connector 2 and the electronic device body 1. In this embodiment, the first mounting portion 11b utilizes a buckle 11b1 and a slot 11b2 structure to achieve a detachable connection to the second mounting portion 2a. Compared to relying solely on the buckle 11b1 or the slot 11b2, the first mounting portion 11b provides a more secure securing effect.

[0115] Furthermore, the provision of the first slot 111a1 in the first housing 111 also prevents the user from seeing the connector 2 from the outside after the electronic device body 1 and the connector 2 are installed (i.e., the second mounting portion 2a (or connector 2) will be hidden between the first housing 111 and the wall 4), thereby ensuring the overall aesthetics of the electronic device body 1 after installation. Of course, the first housing 111 may also be provided without the first slot 111a1, i.e., after the second mounting portion 2a is installed on the first mounting portion 11b, the second mounting portion 2a (or connector 2) will be exposed between the first housing 111 and the wall 4.

[0116] 3. In the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the inclined surface portion 111b, it is beneficial to disassemble the electronic device main body 1. That is, in this embodiment, the disassembly of the electronic device main body 1 can be achieved without external tools (i.e., only by the operator's hand), so that the appearance of the electronic device main body 1 can be ensured not to be damaged. That is to say, by providing the inclined surface portion 111b, the included angle space between the inclined surface portion 111b and the wall body 4 can accommodate fingertips, and the inclined surface portion 111b can serve as a force-bearing fulcrum for pulling out the electronic device main body 1 outward. According to the principle of force decomposition, a component force consistent with the pulling-out direction will surely be generated, thus making the disassembly of the electronic device main body 1 easier.

[0117] 4. In the embodiment of the present invention, the buckle 11b1 is provided on the clamping portion 112b, and the second card slot 112b1 is formed on the clamping portion 112b. The clamping portion 112 is connected to the straight surface portion 111a, so that the first card slot 111a1 and the second card slot 112b1 form a card slot 11b2 to facilitate the accommodation of the second installation portion 2a.

[0118] 5. In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the first installation portions 11b is at least two, and the first installation portions 11b are uniformly arranged on the housing 11, so that the electronic device main body 1 is more evenly stressed during installation and disassembly.
