Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sockets, and in particular to a modular switch device. Background Art
[0002] With the development of society, various industrial electrical products are increasingly inclined towards diversified functions. For power modules such as wall-mounted sockets, charging ports, or night lights, the power module and the switch module used to connect or disconnect the circuit are two separate functional components. In order for the socket module to also have the switching function of connecting or disconnecting the circuit, an additional switch module needs to be installed in the junction box and connected to the switch module. However, the independent switch module will occupy an additional installation position on the mounting panel of the junction box, which will reduce the efficiency of the installation space in the junction box. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention provides a modular switch device, aiming to solve the problem of low space utilization efficiency during installation of modular devices with switch functions.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present invention adopt the following technical solutions:
[0005] Some embodiments of the present application provide a modular switchgear comprising a face frame, a rocker assembly, and a socket assembly. The face frame is used for positioning and mounting the modular switchgear and has a mounting hole. One end of the rocker assembly is adjacent to the mounting hole and connected to the face frame along a first linear direction, the first linear direction being the direction of the mounting hole. The rocker assembly has a mounting cavity, with a mounting opening defined on a side of the cavity adjacent to the face frame along the first linear direction. The rocker assembly includes a live terminal located within the mounting cavity. A functional assembly is inserted into the mounting cavity through the mounting opening and removably connected to the rocker assembly. The functional assembly rotates relative to the rocker assembly between a first preset position and a second preset position. The functional assembly has a functional cavity and includes a live conductor and a neutral conductor. The live and neutral conductors are mounted within the functional cavity and are used to supply power to the functional assembly. When the functional assembly is in the first preset position, the live conductor is adjacent to and connected to the live terminal. When the functional assembly is in the second preset position, the live conductor is separated from and disconnected from the live terminal.
[0006] Therefore, in the modular switchgear provided by the embodiments of the present application, the functional assembly can rotate relative to the seesaw assembly between a first preset position and a second preset position. Specifically, when the functional assembly is in the first preset position, the functional assembly and the seesaw assembly can maintain electrical connection via the live conductor and the live terminal. When the functional assembly is in the second preset position, the live conductor and the live terminal are separated, disconnecting the functional assembly from the seesaw assembly and placing it in a disconnected state. Thus, by rotating the functional assembly, the functional assembly can be controlled to maintain electrical connection or disconnection, facilitating operation of the functional assembly. Furthermore, because the functional assembly and the seesaw assembly can be connected in a distributed manner along the first direction, the seesaw assembly used to implement the on / off function of the functional assembly in the modular switchgear does not occupy additional installation space, thereby improving the compactness of the modular switchgear structure and facilitating space utilization efficiency. Furthermore, because the functional assembly is rotatably connected to the seesaw assembly in a detachable manner, users can conveniently configure the modular switchgear to achieve different functional effects, such as providing an AC power interface, a DC charging interface, or lighting, by removing and replacing the functional assembly of different modules.

[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0036] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," "outer," and the like, indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or relative positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely to facilitate the description of this application and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed, or operate in a specific direction. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Unless otherwise specified, the above-mentioned directionality descriptions may be flexibly set in actual application, provided that the relative positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings are met.
[0037] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. Throughout this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.
[0038] It should be noted that in actual applications, due to limitations in equipment precision or installation errors, absolute parallel or perpendicular effects are difficult to achieve. The descriptions of perpendicularity, parallelism, or co-orientation in this application are not absolute limiting conditions, but rather indicate that a perpendicular or parallel structural setting can be achieved within a preset error range (e.g., a 5° upper and lower deviation) and achieve the corresponding preset effect. This maximizes the technical effect of the defined features and makes the corresponding technical solution easy to implement, with high feasibility.
[0039] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections. They may be directly connected, indirectly connected through an intermediary, or internally connected between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, article, or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, article, or device. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not preclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, article, or device comprising the element.
[0041] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplarily" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.
[0042] The embodiment of the present application provides a modular switchgear, such as Figure 1 As shown, the modular switchgear 100 may include a face frame 1, a rocker assembly 2, and a functional assembly 3. The face frame 1 can be connected to a junction box (not shown) via screws, thereby achieving the positioning and installation of the modular switchgear 100. The rocker assembly 2 can be connected to the face frame 1, while the functional assembly 3 can be directly connected to the rocker assembly 2, or the functional assembly 3 can be connected to the rocker assembly 2 via other structures, thereby achieving the connection and installation of the various structural components of the modular switchgear 100.
[0043] It should be noted that the functional component 3 provided in the embodiment of the present application may include one or more of a socket assembly, a charging interface module, and a lighting module. For example, the socket module may include at least one of a two-hole socket module, a four-hole socket module, a five-hole socket module, and a seven-hole socket module. The two-hole socket module can be used to connect a two-pole plug, the four-hole socket module can be used to connect two two-pole plugs, the five-hole socket module can be used to simultaneously connect a two-pole plug and / or a three-pole plug, and the seven-hole socket module can be used to simultaneously connect a two-pole plug and a three-pole plug, or can be used to simultaneously connect two two-pole plugs. The charging interface module may include at least one of a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface module and a Lightning interface module, for charging devices such as mobile phones and tablets. The USB interface can have a variety of different structural forms due to different protocol standards, and this is not limited to this. The lighting module is used to illuminate the surrounding environment at night to improve the user's visual range.
[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the modular switch device 100 is generally described by taking the functional component 3 as a socket module as an example. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 for Figure 1 An exploded structural diagram of the face frame 1 shown in the figure. The face frame 1 may include a mounting frame 11 and two decorative panels 12, taking the case where the two decorative panels 12 are located on one side of the mounting frame 11 as the front, the two decorative panels are spaced apart in the left-right direction, and the other direction is the up-down direction as an example. The middle part of the mounting frame 11 located behind the decorative panels 12 is provided with mounting holes 13 along the front-to-back direction (i.e., the first straight line direction) to facilitate the installation and connection of the rocker assembly 2. Among them, at least one connecting through hole 14 can be opened downward on the left edge of the mounting frame 11, and at least one connecting through hole 14 can be opened downward on the right edge of the mounting frame 11 to facilitate the connection of the mounting frame 11 and the junction box by screws, thereby realizing the positioning and installation of the modular switchgear 100. Alternatively, a plurality of connecting through holes 14 can also be opened on the upper and lower edges of the mounting frame 11 respectively, without limitation.
[0045] Continue to refer to Figure 2 The left decorative panel 12 can be installed from front to back with the left edge of the installation frame 11, and the corresponding right decorative panel 12 can also be installed from front to back with the right edge of the installation frame 11. In this way, the two decorative panels 12 can cover the connection structures on the left and right sides of the installation frame 11, so that the face frame 1 can have a better decorative appearance.
[0046] The decorative panel 12 and the mounting frame 11 can be mounted via a snap-fit structure to facilitate the removal and installation of the decorative panel 12. In addition, the decorative panel 12 and the mounting frame 11 can also be connected by bonding, which has a simple structure.
[0047] In some other embodiments, the two decorative panels 12 can also be connected to form an integral structure through decorative ribs. For example, the number of decorative ribs can be two, one of which can be arranged near the upper side of the decorative panel 12, the left end of the decorative rib can be connected to the upper end of the right edge of the left decorative panel 12, and the right end of the decorative rib can be connected to the upper end of the left edge of the right decorative panel 12. Another decorative rib can be arranged near the lower side of the decorative panel 12, the left end of the decorative rib can be connected to the lower end of the right edge of the left decorative panel 12, and the right end of the decorative rib can be connected to the lower end of the left edge of the right decorative panel 12. In this way, through the connection of the decorative ribs, the decorative panels 12 can be installed or removed at one time during the process of installing or removing them.
[0048] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 for Figure 1, an exploded structural diagram of a seesaw assembly 2 is shown. The seesaw assembly 2 may include a partition 21 and a base 22, with a mounting cavity 23 formed inside the seesaw assembly 2. The mounting cavity 23 may include a transition cavity 231 and a seesaw cavity 232, which are separated and arranged. In this way, a transition cavity 231 having a mounting opening 24 on the front side may be formed in the partition 21 located in front of the base 22. The mounting opening 24 is used to connect the transition cavity 231. Correspondingly, the rear end of the partition 21 may be connected to the base 22, and a seesaw cavity 232 may be formed between the two. That is, the transition cavity 231 and the seesaw cavity 232 may be separated in the front and back directions by the rear bottom wall of the partition 21. The space of the seesaw cavity 232 may be mainly formed by the rearward depression of the front end of the base 22, or may be mainly formed by the forward depression of the rear end of the partition 21. Alternatively, the front and rear ends of the base 22 and the rear end of the partition 21 may be depressed simultaneously to form the seesaw cavity 232.
[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 3 The rocker assembly 2 may further include a plurality of partitioning and snap-fitting structures 25, so that the rocker assembly 2 may be connected to the mounting frame (eg, Figure 2 (as shown) snap-on installation. Each partition snap-on structure 25 may include a limiting protrusion 251 and an elastic clip 252. Take the example of two partition snap-on structures 25 installed on the upper and lower sides of the partition 21. The two limiting protrusions 251 and the two elastic clips 252 can be located above the partition 21 and connected to the position of the partition 21 near the front end, and the two limiting protrusions 251 can also be spaced apart along the left and right directions. Another two limiting protrusions 251 can be located below the partition 21 and connected to the position of the partition 21 near the front end, and the two limiting protrusions 251 can also be spaced apart along the left and right directions.
[0050] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, on the upper side of the divider 21, two elastic clips 252 can be spaced apart between the two limiting protrusions 251 along the left-right direction. The two elastic clips 252 can also be spaced apart along the left-right direction, and the two limiting protrusions 251 can be located between the two elastic clips 252 along the left-right direction. The two elastic clips 252 can be located behind the two limiting protrusions 251, and the rear end of each elastic clip 252 can be connected to the divider 21. The front end of each elastic clip 252 extends forward so that the front ends of the two elastic clips 252 are spaced apart from the rear ends of the two limiting protrusions 251 along the front-to-back direction. Each elastic clip 252 has a reset gap with the divider 21 in the vertical direction, and the reset gap between each elastic clip 252 and the divider 21 gradually increases from the back to the front. Correspondingly, two partitioning clamping structures 25 can be installed on the lower side of the divider 21, symmetrically distributed with respect to the upper side.
[0051] Based on this, Figure 4 As shown, the face frame 1 may further include two snap-fit ribs 15, with the side wall of the mounting frame 11 close to the mounting hole 13 as the inner wall, one snap-fit rib 15 may be close to the upper inner wall and connected to the mounting frame 11, and the other snap-fit rib 15 may be close to the lower inner wall and connected to the mounting frame 11, and both snap-fit ribs 15 may extend in the left-right direction. In this way, when the partition 21 is inserted from front to back into the mounting hole 13, combined with Figure 5 , Figure 5 for Figure 4 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of point A in the middle. Along the front-to-back direction, the two elastic clips 252 above the divider 21 and the two limiting protrusions 251 can be engaged to accommodate a connecting rib 15 located above. Correspondingly, along the front-to-back direction, the two elastic clips 252 below the divider 21 and the two limiting protrusions 251 can be engaged to accommodate a connecting rib 15 located below. In this way, the limiting engagement between the divider clip structure 25 and the connecting rib 15 can limit the freedom of the divider 21 in the front-to-back direction relative to the mounting frame 11, thereby preventing the rocker assembly 2 from moving forward or backward relative to the face frame 1.
[0052] It should be noted that, since the reset gap between each elastic clip 252 and the partition 21 in the vertical direction gradually increases from back to front, that is, the front end of the elastic clip 252 can approach the partition 21 in the vertical direction under the action of the extrusion force until all the elastic clips 252 are no longer in contact with the two clamping ribs 15, the rocker assembly 2 can be removed from the mounting hole 13 from back to front, that is, the rocker assembly 2 is detachably connected to the mounting frame 11. In addition, due to the existence of the above-mentioned reset gap, the distance between the upper side wall of the upper elastic clip 252 and the lower side wall of the lower elastic clip 252 can also gradually increase from back to front, so as to facilitate the insertion and alignment of the partition 21 with the mounting hole 13 from front to back.
[0053] In order to limit the freedom of the partition 21 and the mounting frame 11 in the left and right directions, continue to refer to Figure 5 The face frame 1 may further include a plurality of limiting blocks 16. The front side surface of each snap-in rib 15 may be connected to a plurality of limiting blocks 16, and the plurality of limiting blocks 16 connected to each snap-in rib 15 may be spaced apart in the left-right direction, with a limiting groove 17 formed between two adjacent limiting blocks 16. In the left-right direction, the width of each limiting groove 17 may be equal to the width of each limiting protrusion 251, or slightly larger than the width of the limiting protrusion 251. In this way, each limiting protrusion 251 snapped to the front side of the snap-in rib 15 may be located exactly within a limiting groove 17. The two adjacent limiting blocks 16 may limit the freedom of the limiting protrusion 251 in the left-right direction, thereby preventing the partition 21 from shaking in the left-right direction relative to the mounting frame 11.
[0054] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown, in the vertical direction, the inner side wall of the mounting frame 11 can be limited in contact with the upper end face or lower end face of the limiting protrusion 251 and the elastic clip 252 to prevent the partition 21 from shaking in the vertical direction relative to the mounting frame 11, thereby facilitating the insertion and installation of the partition 21 from front to back, or the removal and replacement of the partition from back to front. The partition 21 can also be prevented from shaking in the vertical direction relative to the mounting frame 11 by the contact limitation between the lower side face of the upper clamping rib 15 and the upper side wall of the partition 21, and the contact limitation between the upper side face of the lower clamping rib 15 and the lower side wall of the partition 21.
[0055] Based on the snap-fit installation method between the divider 21 and the mounting frame 11 in the above embodiment, if there is only one divider 21, the relative installation position of the divider 21 to the face frame 11 in the left-right direction can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the limiting protrusion 251 to be inserted and snapped into different positions of the limiting groove 17. In addition, if there are multiple dividers 21, the multiple dividers 21 can be arranged in sequence along the left-right direction, and each limiting protrusion 251 can be inserted and snapped into a corresponding limiting groove 17, and the elastic clip 252 can be snap-fitted and snapped into position with the rear side of the snap-fit rib 15. Specifically, by adjusting the position of the limiting protrusion 251 on each divider 21 to be inserted and snapped into different positions of the limiting groove 17, the installation gap between adjacent dividers 21 can be adjusted, such as for close installation or spaced installation, which is very convenient.
[0056] In some other embodiments, a mounting ear can be connected to the upper side wall of the partition 21, and a corresponding mounting ear can be connected to the lower side wall of the partition 21. Along the front-to-back direction, the mounting ear above the partition 21 can have an overlapping area with the upper edge of the mounting frame 11, and the mounting ear below the partition 21 can have an overlapping area with the lower edge of the mounting frame 11. In this way, a detachable connection between the partition 21 and the mounting frame 11 can be achieved by punching holes in the overlapping area and connecting the mounting ear and the mounting frame 11 with screws. In addition, the mounting ear and the mounting frame 11 can also be bonded by glue or hot melt to achieve a non-detachable connection between the partition 21 and the mounting frame 11.
[0057] At the rear end of the rocker assembly 2, continue to refer to Figure 3, the rear end of the divider 21 and the base 22 can be installed through a detachable connection structure. Exemplarily, the rocker assembly 2 can also include a base clamping structure 27, which can include a plurality of base clamping holes 271 and a plurality of base clamping hooks 272 corresponding to the plurality of base clamping holes. Among them, along the left and right directions, two base clamping holes 271 can be respectively opened on the two opposite side walls of the base 22, that is, there are four base clamping holes 271 in total, and a base clamping hook 272 can also be installed on the left and right walls of the divider 21 corresponding to each base clamping hole 271. In this way, after the lower end of the divider 21 is inserted into the rocker cavity 232 of the base 22, a base clamping hook 272 can be correspondingly engaged with a base clamping hole 271, thereby realizing a detachable clamping installation between the base 22 and the divider 21, which facilitates the disassembly and installation between the base 22 and the divider 21.
[0058] In addition, the installation position of the base clamping structure 27 can also be adjusted accordingly, such as opening a base clamping hole 271 at the lower end of the partition 21, and installing a base hook corresponding to a base clamping hole 271 on the side wall of the base 22, which can also realize the clamping installation between the base 22 and the partition 21, that is, the two can be detachably connected.
[0059] For the base 22, if Figure 6 As shown, the rear sidewall of the base 22 is provided with at least one wire insertion hole 281 for inserting and connecting at least one of the live, neutral, and ground wires. Furthermore, at least one operation hole 282 can be provided on the upper, lower, left, or right sidewall of the base to allow for the squeeze connection of the live, neutral, and ground wires.
[0060] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of base positioning grooves 283 are further provided in the rocker cavity 232 of the base 22. Figure 7The rocker assembly 2 may further include a live wire terminal 291, a live wire rocker 292, a live wire connector 293, a neutral wire terminal 294, a neutral wire rocker 295, a neutral wire connector 296, and a ground wire terminal 297, all mounted within the rocker cavity 232. For example, one end of the live wire connector 293 may be connected to the live wire terminal 291, and the other end of the live wire connector 293 may be supported on the rear side of the live wire rocker 292, so that the live wire rocker 292 may rotate about an axis parallel to the left-right direction. Correspondingly, one end of the neutral wire connector 296 may be connected to the neutral wire terminal 294, and the other end of the neutral wire connector 296 may be supported on the rear side of the neutral wire rocker 295, so that the neutral wire rocker 295 may rotate about an axis parallel to the left-right direction. Furthermore, the ground wire terminal 297 may be located above the live wire connector 293 and the neutral wire connector 296. Furthermore, the seesaw assembly 2 may further include a live seesaw terminal 298 and a neutral seesaw terminal 299. The live seesaw terminal 298 may be connected to the lower end of the live seesaw member 292 and located in front of the live seesaw member 292, thereby increasing the contact area of the live seesaw member 292. Correspondingly, the neutral seesaw terminal 299 may be connected to the lower end of the neutral seesaw member 295 and located in front of the neutral seesaw member 295, thereby increasing the contact area of the neutral seesaw member 295. In the vertical direction, the live seesaw terminal 298 and the neutral seesaw terminal 299 may be arranged near the same side of the seesaw cavity 232.
[0061] When the above structure is installed in the seesaw cavity 232, Figure 6 As shown, the number of the wire insertion holes 281 and the number of the operation holes 282 can both be three. Figure 8 The connection hole (not shown in the figure) of the ground terminal 297 can be aligned with a wire insertion hole 281 above, and the connection screw (not shown in the figure) of the ground terminal 297 can be aligned with an operating hole 282 located above, so as to facilitate connection with the external ground wire through the ground terminal 297. The connection hole (not shown in the figure) of the live terminal 291 can be aligned with a wire insertion hole 281 on the lower right side, and the connection screw (not shown in the figure) of the live terminal 291 can be aligned with an operating hole 282 located on the lower right side, so as to facilitate connection with the external live wire through the live terminal 291. The connection hole (not shown in the figure) of the neutral terminal 294 can be aligned with a wire insertion hole 281 on the lower left side, and the connection screw (not shown in the figure) of the neutral terminal 294 can be aligned with an operating hole 282 located on the lower left side, so as to facilitate connection with the external neutral wire through the neutral terminal 294. The installation positions of the ground wire terminal 297 , the live wire terminal 291 and the neutral wire terminal 294 may also be swapped in the up and down directions, and this is not limited.
[0062] Because the two base positioning slots 283 are respectively arranged near the two lower wire insertion holes 281, the live wire terminal 291 can be limitedly supported by the right wire insertion hole 281, and the neutral wire terminal 294 can be limitedly supported by the left wire insertion hole 281. In addition, multiple support and limiting structures are provided in the seesaw cavity 232 near the live wire seesaw 292 and the neutral wire seesaw 295. These structures improve the rotational stability of the live wire seesaw 292 and the neutral wire seesaw 295 without affecting the live wire seesaw 292 and the neutral wire seesaw 295.
[0063] After the base 22 is connected and installed with the partition 21, the live wire terminal 291, the live wire connector 293, the neutral wire terminal 294, the neutral wire connector 296 and the ground wire terminal 297 can also be squeezed and positioned by the rear end surface of the partition 21. Figure 4 The rear side wall of the partition 21 can also be provided with two first through holes 261 and one second through hole 262 connected to the transition cavity 231, and the second through hole and the two first through holes 261 can also be connected to the seesaw cavity 232. In this way, the ground terminal 297 can be connected to the functional component 3 (such as Figure 1 Along the front-to-back direction, the first through hole 261 on the left side can avoid the neutral wire seesaw 295, and the first through hole on the right side can avoid the live wire seesaw 292, so as to prevent the setting of the partition 21 from affecting the rotation of the live wire seesaw 292 and the neutral wire seesaw 295.
[0064] In some other embodiments, the seesaw assembly 2 may also form a mounting cavity 23 with a mounting opening 24 on the front side within the partition 21. That is, the seesaw assembly 2 does not need to additionally provide a base 22 and a seesaw cavity 232 located within the base 22. Instead, the structures within the seesaw cavity 232, such as the live wire terminal 291, the live wire seesaw member 292, and the live wire connector 293, the corresponding wire insertion holes 281 and the operating holes 282, and the supporting and fixing structures, need only be arranged within the mounting cavity 23 and positioned toward the rear. The structures originally within the transition cavity 231 can be directly positioned within the mounting cavity 23 corresponding to the aforementioned structures, resulting in a simple structure. In addition, structures such as the neutral wire terminal 294, the neutral wire seesaw member 295, the neutral wire connector 296, and the ground wire terminal 297 also need to be installed at corresponding positions within the mounting cavity 23.
[0065] It should be noted that the rocker assembly 2 and the face frame 1 in the above embodiment are the basic structure of the modular switchgear 100. That is, the modular switchgear 100 can be connected to the base box via the face frame 1 for installation, and the live wire, neutral wire, and even the ground wire can be connected via the rocker assembly 2 to control the functional component 3 to turn on or off the power.
[0066] Take the socket module as an example, refer to Figure 9The functional component 3 may further include a functional transition piece 31 and a functional panel 32. A functional cavity 34 having a functional opening 33 on the front side may be formed in the functional transition piece 31, and at least one functional hole 351 may be provided on the corresponding functional panel 32. The functional panel 32 may approach the functional opening 33 from the front to the back and connect with the functional transition piece 31, so that the functional hole 351 of the through-hole structure can communicate with the functional cavity 34. The functional panel 32 may also be used to cover and shield the functional transition piece 31 while blocking the functional opening 33.
[0067] For example, the functional panel 32 and the functional transition piece 31 can be connected in a detachable mounting manner, and further reference is made to Figure 9 The functional component 3 may further include a first engaging structure 36. This first engaging structure 36 may include a plurality of first engaging hooks 361 and a plurality of first engaging holes 362, with the plurality of first engaging hooks 361 and the plurality of first engaging holes 362 engaging in a one-to-one corresponding manner. For example, if there are four first engaging hooks 361 and four first engaging holes 362, two first engaging hooks 361 may be connected to the left front of the functional transition piece 31, and the two first engaging hooks 361 may be spaced apart in the vertical direction. Another two first engaging hooks 361 may be installed to the right front of the functional transition piece 31, and the two first engaging hooks 361 may also be spaced apart in the vertical direction. Thus, a first engaging hole 362 may be provided on the left and right sides of the functional panel 32, corresponding to each first engaging hook 361. Thus, the engaging engagement of each first engaging hook 361 with a first engaging hole 362 allows the functional panel 32 to be attached to the functional transition piece 31, allowing for removable installation. This facilitates the installation and disassembly between the functional panel 32 and the functional transition piece 31 .
[0068] It should be noted that first latching holes can also be provided on the functional transition piece 31, and a first latching hook can be installed on the functional panel 32 corresponding to each first latching hole. This can also achieve a latching connection between the functional panel 32 and the functional transition piece 31. The number of first latching hooks 361 and first latching holes 362 is not limited, as long as the connection strength between the functional panel 32 and the functional transition piece 31 is sufficient. Furthermore, the functional panel 32 and the functional transition piece 31 can be directly bonded using glue or hot melt, or they can be formed into a single, non-detachable structure, which simplifies the structure.
[0069] In some embodiments, as Figure 9As shown, the functional component 3 may further include two first rotating shafts 371, one of which may be connected to the left side of the functional transition piece 31. For example, the first rotating shaft 371 on the left side may be located between the two first hooks 361 along the vertical direction and installed near the front end of the functional transition piece 31. In addition, the other first rotating shaft 371 may be connected to the right side of the functional transition piece 31. For example, the first rotating shaft 371 on the right side may be located between the two first hooks 361 along the vertical direction and installed near the front end of the functional transition piece 31. The axes of the two first rotating shafts 371 are collinear and may be parallel to the left-right direction (i.e., the second straight line direction).
[0070] Based on the above structure, Figure 10 As shown, the rear end of the functional assembly 3, formed by connecting the functional transition piece 31 and the functional panel 32, can be inserted from front to back into the transition cavity 231 through the mounting opening 24. A rotation axis hole 284 can be defined on each left and right side of the functional transition piece 31, corresponding to each first rotation axis 371. This allows the left first rotation axis 371 to be inserted from right to left into the left rotation axis hole 284, and the right first rotation axis 371 to be inserted from left to right into the right rotation axis hole 284. In this manner, the functional assembly 3 can rotate relative to the transition piece 21 (i.e., the rocker assembly 2) about an axis parallel to the left-right direction. During this process, since the lugs to which the functional panel 32 is connected rearward are provided with first engaging holes 362, to prevent the left and right sidewalls of the divider 21 from contacting the lugs and thereby preventing further rotation of the functional transition piece 31, avoidance grooves 285 can be defined at the upper ends of the left and right sidewalls of the divider 21, corresponding to each lug. This prevents the left and right sidewalls of the divider 21 from obstructing the rotation of the functional assembly 3.
[0071] Continue to refer to Figure 10 , the distance between the left end face of the first rotating shaft 371 on the left and the functional transition piece 31 can be gradually increased from back to front along the left-right direction. Correspondingly, the distance between the right end face of the first rotating shaft 371 on the right and the functional transition piece 31 can be gradually increased from back to front along the left-right direction. The above two embodiments can be set selectively or simultaneously. In this way, when the functional transition piece 31 is inserted from front to back into the transition cavity 231, the backward insertion of the functional transition piece 31 is facilitated, thereby facilitating the alignment and installation of the first rotating shaft 371 and the rotating shaft hole 284.
[0072] It should be noted that when the functional transition member 31 and the separator 21 are rotationally connected via the two first rotating shafts 371 and the two rotating shaft holes 284, the left and right sidewalls of the separator 21 are spaced apart by the rotating shaft holes 284, and the two sidewalls can elastically stretch or contract. Thus, by applying a force, the left and right sidewalls of the separator 21 can be moved away from each other, disengaging the first rotating shafts 371 and the rotating shaft holes 284 from their plug-in engagement, thereby facilitating separation of the functional transition member 31 and the separator 21. Without the application of the aforementioned external force, the elastic contraction force of the sidewalls of the separator 21 maintains a stable rotational connection between the separator 21 and the functional transition member 31. This means that, through the functional transition member 31 and the separator 21, the functional assembly 3 can be rotationally connected relative to the rocker assembly 2 while also being removably connected to the rocker assembly 2. This facilitates the replacement of functional assemblies of different module types to achieve different functions of the modular switchgear 100.
[0073] Furthermore, rotational axis holes can be provided in the functional transition piece 31 at locations corresponding to the two first rotational axis holes 371. This allows the rotational axis to be connected to the left rotational axis hole on the right side of the left side wall of the partition 21, and to the right rotational axis hole on the left side of the right side wall of the partition 21. In this case, the spacing between the two end faces of the two rotational axis holes mounted on the partition 21 and the partition 21 can be gradually increased from front to back, similarly facilitating the transition piece 31's connection and installation with the partition 21 from front to back.
[0074] Alternatively, two threaded holes can be formed in the functional transition member 31 at positions corresponding to the two first rotating shafts 371. Thus, after aligning the threaded holes with the rotating shaft holes 284, one screw can be passed from left to right through the left rotating shaft hole 284 and connected to the corresponding threaded hole on the left, and another screw can be passed from right to left through the right rotating shaft hole 284 and connected to the corresponding threaded hole on the right. In this way, the above two embodiments can also achieve a detachable connection between the functional transition member 31 and the partition member 21 while maintaining a rotational connection therebetween, thereby facilitating removal and replacement of the functional component 3.
[0075] For example, the functional component 3 is a socket module. In this case, the multiple functional holes 351 on the functional panel 32 are socket holes, that is, the socket module can be inserted and connected to plugs through the multiple functional holes 351, such as a two-pole plug (corresponding to two socket holes) and a three-pole plug (corresponding to three socket holes). Figure 11 As shown, the functional component 3 may further include a live wire conductive member 352, a neutral wire conductive member 353 and a ground wire conductive member 354. The live wire conductive member 352, the neutral wire conductive member 353 and the ground wire conductive member 354 may be installed in the functional cavity 34 (as shown in FIG. Figure 9(as shown). At this point, the live conductor 352, the neutral conductor 353, and the ground conductor 354 can be corresponding live, neutral, and ground sockets, respectively. Thus, a two-pole plug can be inserted into the functional cavity 34 through the two functional holes 351 and connected to the live conductor 352 and the neutral conductor 353. A three-pole plug can be inserted into the functional cavity 34 through the three functional holes 351 and simultaneously connected to the live conductor 352, the neutral conductor 353, and the ground conductor 354. This allows the socket module to supply power to the electrical device at the other end of the plug inserted.
[0076] The live conductor 352, neutral conductor 353, and ground conductor 354 within the functional cavity 34 can be positioned and installed in a variety of ways. For example, they can be fixed within the functional cavity 34 using glue or hot melt bonding, screws, or a snap-fit positioning structure. This is not limited to these methods.
[0077] In addition, in some embodiments of the present application, taking the functional component 3 as an example, the socket module is Figure 11 As shown, the functional component 3 may further include a positioning component 38, which can be inserted into the functional cavity 34 from front to back and is used for positioning and installing the live wire conductive member 352, the neutral wire conductive member 353 and the ground wire conductive member 354, such as the positioning and installation of the live wire socket, the neutral wire socket and the ground wire socket. For example, the positioning component 38 may include a positioning member 381, which can be inserted into the functional cavity 34 from front to back (such as Figure 9 The positioning member 381 can be positioned within the housing 352, the neutral conductor 353, and the ground conductor 354, in cooperation with the rear sidewall of the functional transition member 31, thereby achieving the positioning and installation of the live conductor 352, the neutral conductor 353, and the ground conductor 354. Furthermore, the positioning member 381 can be provided with a plurality of positioning through holes (not shown in the figure), and the plurality of positioning through holes can be provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of functional holes 351 for inserting and connecting a plug.
[0078] Continue to refer to Figure 11The positioning assembly 38 may also include two positioning posts 382 and two threaded terminals 383. The front ends of the positioning posts 382 may be connected to the rear side wall of the positioning member 381, and a positioning threaded hole 384 may be provided at the rear end of each positioning post 382. The two threaded terminals 383 may correspond one-to-one with the two positioning threaded holes, so that one threaded terminal 383 can be inserted into one positioning threaded hole 384 from back to front and connected to the positioning post 382 provided with the positioning threaded hole 384. In this way, one end of the live conductor 352 can be located behind the right positioning post 382 and can be connected to the right positioning post 382 via one threaded terminal 383. The corresponding end of the neutral conductor 353 can be located behind the left positioning post 382 and can be connected to the left positioning post 382 via another threaded terminal 383. This achieves the positioning and installation of the live conductor 352 and the neutral conductor 353 with the positioning member 381.
[0079] The ground conductor 354 can be positioned and installed by means of a retaining structure on the rear side of the positioning member 381 and the positioning member. After the positioning member is inserted into the functional cavity 34, it is squeezed and installed between the positioning member 381 and the rear side wall of the functional transition member 31. Alternatively, it can be positioned and installed by means of bonding or other snap-fit structures. An additional set of corresponding positioning posts and threaded terminals can also be provided for positioning and installing the neutral conductor 354, although this is not limited to this. The two positioning posts 382 can be spaced apart in the left-right direction and can be located on the same side of the first rotating shaft 371 in the vertical direction.
[0080] In some embodiments, as Figure 11 As shown, the functional transition piece 31 may be provided with two third through holes 372 along the front-to-back direction, so that the two third through holes 372 can communicate with the functional cavity 34 (as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown) and transition cavity 231 (as Figure 10 As shown), the two screw terminals 383 after installation can extend from the front to the back of the functional cavity 34 through the two third through holes 372 respectively. For example, the screw terminal 383 on the left can pass through the third through hole 372 on the left from the back to the front, so as to contact and connect the neutral line seesaw 295 (as shown). Figure 7 The right-side screw terminal 383 can also pass through the right-side third through-hole 372 from the rear to the front, facilitating contact and connection with the live wire rocker 292. Furthermore, the functional transition member 31 may also have a fourth through-hole 373 formed along the front-to-back direction. This fourth through-hole 373 connects the functional cavity 34 and the transition cavity 231, allowing the ground conductor 354 to be connected to an external wire or other conductive member for connection to the ground terminal 297.
[0081] Continue to refer to Figure 11Two first positioning blind holes 374 may be further defined on the rear sidewall of the functional transition piece 31, extending from the right rear to the front. The two first positioning blind holes 374 may be spaced apart in the left-right direction. The axes of the two first positioning blind holes 374 may be arranged close to each other in the vertical direction, and the plane in which the axes of the two first positioning blind holes 374 lie may be perpendicular to the vertical direction.
[0082] In order to make the functional component 3 rotate between the first preset position and the second preset position, it is convenient to keep the functional component 3 in the connected state at the first preset position or the disconnected state at the second preset position. Figure 12 As shown, the modular switchgear 100 may further include a pin assembly 4. The number of the pin assembly 4 may be one, that is, the rear end of the pin assembly 4 may be in contact with the live wire seesaw 292, and the front end of the pin assembly 4 may be used to press the functional component 3. In addition, the number of the pin assembly 4 may also be two, that is, the rear end of one pin assembly 4 may be in contact with the live wire seesaw 292, and the rear end of the other pin assembly 4 may be in contact with the neutral wire seesaw 295 (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown in FIG, 2 , the front ends of the two ball assemblies 4 are used to squeeze the functional component 3. The ball assemblies 4 are in a compressed state, and the front ends of the ball assemblies 4 can be installed in contact with components of the functional component 3, such as the functional transition piece 31, or can be used to squeeze the functional component 3 by squeezing other components.
[0083] Since the functional component 3 and the separator 21 can be connected directly or indirectly. Figure 12 As shown, when the functional transition piece 31 of the functional component 3 is directly connected to the partition 21, when the functional component 3 rotates relative to the rocker component 2 to the position shown in FIG. Figure 12 When in the first preset position shown. The pin assembly 4 can include a first pin assembly 41. The first pin assembly 41 can be arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the first positioning blind hole 374. That is, the upper end of each first pin assembly 41 can be inserted into a first positioning blind hole 374, so that the upper end of the first pin assembly 41 located in the first positioning blind hole 374 presses and contacts the functional transition piece 31 (i.e., the functional component 3). The first pin assembly 41 can include a first spring 411 and a first sliding pin 412. The front end of the first sliding pin 412 can be inserted into the first positioning blind hole 374 on the right side, and the first spring 411 is pressed and installed between the front end of the elastic pin 412 and the front bottom wall of the first positioning blind hole 374. In this way, when the functional component 3 (i.e., the functional transition member 31) is in the first preset position, the live wire conductive member 352 can move backwards toward the lower end of the live wire rocker member 292 through the right screw terminal 383, and can contact or even fit with the live wire rocker terminal 298 installed at the lower end of the live wire rocker member 292. Figure 7The live wire conductive member 352 can maintain electrical connection with the live wire terminal 291 via the right-side threaded terminal 383, the live wire rocker terminal 298, the live wire rocker member 292, and the live wire connecting member 293. The arrangement of the threaded terminal 383 and the live wire rocker terminal 298 helps increase the contact area between the live wire conductive member 352 and the live wire rocker member 292. Furthermore, the rear end of the first sliding pin 412 can press and contact the upper end of the live wire rocker member 292, allowing the lower end of the live wire rocker member 292 to move forward toward the functional component 3 and contact or even fit with the right-side threaded terminal 383.
[0084] by Figure 12 The functional component 3 is at the first preset position as shown, and the functional component 3 can be rotated clockwise, and the live wire seesaw 292 can be rotated counterclockwise until the functional component 3 can be rotated to the first preset position. Figure 13 The second preset position shown, that is, the functional component 3 and the rocker component 2 can be rotatably connected between the first preset position and the second preset position. When the functional component 3 rotates from the first preset position to the second preset position, the live wire conductive member 352 can move forward away from the live wire rocker terminal 298 at the lower end of the live wire rocker member 292 through the right screw terminal 383 until the live wire conductive member 352 is disconnected from the live wire rocker member 292. When the functional component 3 is in the second preset position, the live wire conductive member 352 is completely disconnected from the live wire rocker member 292, thereby disconnecting the live wire conductive member 352 from the live wire connection terminal (such as Figure 7 At this time, the rear end of the first sliding pin 412 can press and contact the lower end of the live wire seesaw 292, so that the lower end of the live wire seesaw 292 can move backward away from the functional component 3 and maintain the disconnected state between the live wire seesaw 292 and the live wire conductive member 352.
[0085] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the first ball assembly 41 can also be a rod-shaped structure or a sheet-shaped structure with elastic bending ability, such as a rubber rod or a metal spring. In this way, the front end of the first ball assembly 41 can be inserted into the blind hole and the lower end of the first ball assembly 41 can be pressed into contact with the live wire seesaw 292. In addition, the front end of the rod-shaped or sheet-shaped first ball assembly 41 can be directly fixedly connected to the rear side wall of the functional transition piece 31, which can be done by bonding or screw connection. Similarly, the two ends of the first ball assembly 41 can be pressed into contact between the functional transition piece 31 and the live wire seesaw 292 or the neutral wire seesaw 295 in the front-to-back direction.
[0086] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, Figure 14The diagram of the relative positions of the functional transition member 31 provided in the embodiment of the present application when it is in the first preset position and the live wire seesaw member 292 and the neutral wire seesaw member 295. The rotation state of the neutral wire seesaw member 295 on the left side is the same as that of the live wire seesaw member 292 on the right side. Therefore, when the functional transition member 31 is in the first preset position, the neutral wire conductive member 353 (such as Figure 11 As shown) can be connected to the zero line seesaw terminal 299 at the lower end of the zero line seesaw member 295 through the screw terminal 383 on the left side. Figure 7 The neutral wire conductive member 353 can maintain electrical connection with the neutral wire terminal 294 through the threaded terminal 383 on the left, the neutral wire rocker terminal 299, the neutral wire rocker member 295, and the neutral wire connector 296.
[0087] Accordingly, when the functional transition piece 31 is in the second preset position, the neutral line rocker terminal 299 and the neutral line rocker piece 295 move away from each other and are disconnected, thereby maintaining an open circuit state (i.e., disconnected) between the neutral line conductive piece 353 and the neutral line terminal 294.
[0088] It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, when the functional component 3 is in the second preset position, the live wire conductive member 352 and the neutral wire conductive member 353 simultaneously maintain an open circuit state (i.e., an open circuit connection), which is beneficial to improving the safety of electricity use. However, in some other embodiments, the neutral wire conductive member 353 can also be set similarly to the ground wire conductive member 354, that is, the neutral wire conductive member 353 can be directly connected to the neutral wire terminal 294 in the seesaw cavity 232 through an external wire, without the need for additional components such as the neutral wire seesaw member 295, and the structure is simple. In addition, the neutral wire terminal 294 and the ground wire terminal 297 can also be directly installed in the socket cavity 34. In this way, the neutral wire conductive member 353 can be directly connected to the external neutral wire through the neutral wire terminal 294, and the ground wire conductive member 354 can also be directly connected to the external ground wire through the ground wire terminal 297, and the structure is also simple.
[0089] In some embodiments, the live wire seesaw component 292 located in the seesaw cavity 232 or the installation cavity 23 can also be directly connected to the live wire terminal 291 for rotation. The live wire seesaw component 292 can also be installed by other structural supports so that the live wire seesaw component 292 can rotate around an axis parallel to the second straight line direction and be connected to the live wire terminal 291 through a wire. In this way, when the functional component 3 is in the first preset position, the live wire conductive component 352 can be connected to or even contacted with the live wire seesaw component 292 to conduct the live wire terminal 291. When the functional component 3 is in the second preset position, the live wire conductive component 352 is disconnected from the live wire seesaw component 292. The connection and installation method between the neutral wire seesaw component 295 and the neutral wire terminal 294 can also be adjusted accordingly with reference to the above embodiment.
[0090] In some other embodiments, it is also possible that the live wire seesaw component 292 and the live wire connector 293 do not need to be installed in the seesaw cavity 232 or the installation cavity 23, and the installation position of the live wire terminal 291 can be adjusted accordingly. When the functional transition component 31 is in the first preset position, the screw terminal 383 on the right side can directly contact the live wire terminal 291 backward to achieve an electrical connection between the live wire conductive component 352 and the live wire terminal 291. It is also possible to correspondingly cancel the installation of the neutral wire seesaw component 295 and the neutral wire connector 296 in the seesaw cavity 232 or the installation cavity 23, so that the screw terminal 383 on the left side can directly contact the neutral wire terminal 294 backward to achieve an electrical connection between the neutral wire conductive component 353 and the neutral wire terminal 294. Similarly, the functional component 3 can be controlled by the seesaw component 2 to turn on or off the power.
[0091] Based on this, in the modular switchgear 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application, the functional component 3 can rotate relative to the seesaw assembly 2 between a first preset position and a second preset position. That is, when the functional component 3 is in the first preset position, the functional component 3 can maintain an electrical connection with the seesaw assembly 2. When the functional component 3 is in the second preset position, the functional component 3 can be disconnected from the seesaw assembly 2, so that the functional component 3 is in an off-circuit state. In this way, by rotating the functional component 3, the functional component 3 can be controlled to maintain an electrical connection or be in a disconnected state, thereby facilitating the operation and control of the functional component 3. Furthermore, since the functional component 3 and the seesaw assembly 2 can be distributed along the front-to-back direction (i.e., the first straight line direction), for the modular switchgear 100, the seesaw assembly 2 used to implement the on-off function of the functional component does not occupy additional installation space in the vertical and left-right directions (i.e., it does not occupy the installation position in the wiring base box), thereby improving the compactness of the modular switchgear 100 structure and facilitating improved space utilization efficiency of the modular switchgear 100. At the same time, in the embodiment of the present application, since the functional component 3 is rotatably connected to the rocker component 2 in a detachable manner, the user can enable the modular switch device 100 to achieve different functional effects by disassembling and replacing the functional components 3 of different modules, such as providing an AC power interface, a DC charging interface or a lighting function, which is very convenient.
[0092] In some other embodiments, the functional component 3 can be connected to the rocker component 2 by a detachable connection or by other structural connections. Figure 15 As shown, Figure 15This is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the second modular switchgear 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The modular switchgear 100 may further include a positioning transition assembly 5, the positioning transition assembly 5 including a positioning transition piece 51, the positioning transition piece 51 having a plug-in cavity 52 and a plug-in opening 53 communicating with the front side of the plug-in cavity 52. When installing the positioning transition assembly 5, the positioning transition piece 51 may be moved from front to back through the installation opening 24 (e.g., Figure 3 As shown) is inserted into the transition cavity 231 and connected to the partition 21, the front edge of the partition 21 can be connected to the Figure 4 The mounting frame 11 shown in FIG is snap-fitted for installation.
[0093] Continue to refer to Figure 15 When connecting the positioning transition piece 51 and the separator 21, a rotation shaft hole 284 can be formed at the front ends of the left and right side walls of the separator 21. A second rotation shaft 54 can be connected to the left side wall of the positioning transition piece 51, and a second rotation shaft 54 can be connected to the right side wall of the positioning transition piece 51, so that the axes of the two second rotation shafts 54 are collinear and parallel to the left-right direction. In this way, the left second rotation shaft 54 can be inserted from right to left into the rotation shaft hole 284 on the left side of the separator 21, and the corresponding right second rotation shaft 54 can be inserted from left to right into the rotation shaft hole 284 on the right side of the separator 21, so that the positioning transition piece 51 can be rotatably connected to the separator 21 about an axis parallel to the left-right direction.
[0094] It should be noted that the rotational connection between the positioning transition piece 51 and the separator 21 can also be achieved through other connection structures, and can be configured similarly to the rotational connection between the functional transition piece 31 and the separator 21. The rotational connection between the positioning transition piece 51 and the separator 21 can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection, and this application does not limit this.
[0095] Based on this, the functional assembly 3 can be inserted as a whole from front to back through the insertion opening 53 into the insertion cavity 52 and detachably connected to the positioning transition piece 51. In this way, when removing and replacing the functional assembly 3 with a different module function, there is no need to remove and install the positioning transition piece 51, further improving the convenience of the functional assembly 3 removal and replacement operation.
[0096] like Figure 15As shown, the functional component 3 may also include a functional panel 32 and a functional bottom shell 39 to form the outer shell structure of the functional component 3. In order to achieve a detachable connection between the functional component 3 and the positioning transition piece 51. The functional component 3 may also include at least one second clamping structure 355, and the corresponding positioning transition piece 5 may include at least one third clamping structure 55, and the second clamping structure 355 and the third clamping structure 55 are matched one by one for the clamping installation (i.e., detachable connection) of the functional component 3 and the positioning transition piece 51. Exemplarily, the third clamping structure 55 may be a hook structure and the number is four, two third clamping structures 55 may be arranged on the left side wall of the positioning transition piece 51, and respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the left second rotating shaft 54, and the other two third clamping structures 55 may be arranged on the right side wall of the positioning transition piece 51, and respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the right second rotating shaft 54. A second clamping structure 355 with a clamping hole structure is installed at the corresponding position of each third clamping structure 55 on the functional panel 32, so that each third clamping structure 55 (such as a hook) can be clamped with a second clamping structure 355 (such as a hole) to facilitate the functional component 3 to be clamped and connected with the positioning transition piece 51 through the functional panel 32 (equivalent to a detachable connection).
[0097] In some other embodiments, multiple second snap-fit structures 355 can also be installed on the functional bottom shell 39. Since the functional bottom shell 39 can be inserted into the plug-in cavity 52 from front to back through the plug-in opening 53, a third snap-fit structure 55 can be provided on the inner side wall of the positioning transition piece 51 facing the plug-in cavity 52, corresponding to each second snap-fit structure 355. In this way, the functional component 3 can be snap-connected to the positioning transition piece 51 through the functional bottom shell 39 (equivalent to a detachable connection). In addition, the second snap-fit structure 355 and the third snap-fit structure 55 can also be connected by other forms of snap-fitting methods. For details, please refer to the first snap-fit structure 36 in the above embodiment to adjust the second snap-fit structure 355 and the third snap-fit structure 55 accordingly, without limitation to this.
[0098] For example, Figure 16 As shown, Figure 16 for Figure 15An exploded structural diagram of the functional component 3 shown in the figure is specifically an exploded structural diagram of a five-hole socket module. Five functional holes 351 (i.e., socket holes) are provided on the functional panel 32, of which the three functional holes 351 located at the bottom are used to plug in three-pole plugs, and the two functional holes 351 located at the top can be used to plug in two-pole plugs. The functional bottom shell 39 has a functional cavity 34 with a functional opening 33 on the front side, which can accommodate the installation of a live conductor 352, a neutral conductor 353, and a ground conductor 354, and the front end of the functional bottom shell 39 can be connected to the functional panel 32, which can be a non-detachable connection method or a detachable connection method. This allows the functional panel 32 to cover and block the functional bottom shell located at the rear side, and can also block the positioning transition piece 51, the rocker assembly 2, and even part of the mounting frame 11 (such as Figure 2 shown).
[0099] Continue to refer to Figure 16 In order to facilitate the positioning and installation of the live wire conductive member 352, the neutral wire conductive member 353 and the ground wire conductive member 354 of the socket structure, when the functional component 3 is a socket module, the functional component 3 may further include a positioning component 38. The positioning component 38 may include a positioning member 381, two positioning posts 382, two screw terminals 383 and a positioning threaded hole (not shown in the figure) provided on the rear end surface of the positioning post 382. The positioning component 38 may be used for positioning and installation of the live wire conductive member 352, the neutral wire conductive member 353 and the ground wire conductive member 354 of the socket structure. In the embodiment of the present application, the installation method of the positioning component 38 can refer to Figure 11 The structure of the positioning assembly 38 is configured accordingly. Specifically, to prevent the positioning member 381 installed in front of the live conductor 352, the neutral conductor 353, and the ground conductor 354 from affecting the plug insertion effect, a positioning through-hole 385 aligned along the front-to-back direction can be provided on the positioning member 381 corresponding to each functional hole 351 (i.e., socket hole), so that the plug can sequentially pass through the corresponding functional hole 351 and the positioning through-hole 385 to contact and connect with the live conductor 352, the neutral conductor 353, and even the ground conductor 354 of the socket structure to achieve circuit continuity.
[0100] It should be noted that if Figure 16As shown, if the functional component 3 is a socket module, the functional component 3 may further include a protective door assembly 356, which can be installed between the positioning member 381 and the functional panel 32 in the front-to-back direction. Since the positioning member 381 has a positioning through-hole 385 corresponding to each functional hole 351, the provision of the protective door assembly 356 can block the insertion path between the functional hole 351 and the positioning through-hole 385 in the front-to-back direction, thereby preventing the risk of electric shock when foreign matter is directly inserted from the functional hole 351 through the positioning through-hole 385 into the functional cavity 34 and contacts the live conductor 352. However, since the protective door assembly 356 may include an elastic structure (not shown in the figure) and a sliding baffle member (not shown in the figure), when the plug is inserted from the functional hole 351 into the positioning through-hole 385, the force applied by the plug to the sliding baffle member can cause the sliding baffle member to slide upward or downward to leak out of the positioning through-hole, making it easier for the plug to be inserted into the functional cavity 34 to contact the live conductor 352, the neutral conductor 353, and even the ground conductor 354. When the plug is unplugged, under the action of the elastic structure, the sliding baffle member can move and return to its original position to block the plug-in path between the functional hole 351 and the positioning through-hole 385. This application does not limit the specific structure of the protective door assembly 356, as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned effect.
[0101] If functional component 3 is a socket module for connecting a three-pole plug, or a lighting module or charging interface module with a ground terminal, functional component 3 can be installed with a ground conductor 354, and a corresponding ground terminal can be installed in rocker assembly 2. If the socket module is only used to connect a two-pole plug, or the lighting module or charging interface module does not require grounding, then the ground conductor 354 is not required in functional component 3, and a corresponding ground terminal is not required in rocker assembly 2.
[0102] In the case where the functional panel 32 and the functional bottom shell 39 are detachably connected by a snap-fit structure, as shown in FIG. Figure 16 As shown, the functional component 3 may further include a fourth clamping structure 357, which may be installed on the upper and lower sides of the functional bottom shell 39, or on the left and right sides of the functional bottom shell 39. Figure 17As shown, the functional assembly may further include a fifth latching structure 358, which can be mounted on the rear side of the functional panel 32 so that one fifth latching structure 358 can latch onto one corresponding fourth latching structure 357, thereby ensuring a secure mounting arrangement between the functional panel 32 and the functional bottom housing 39. For example, at least one fourth latching structure 357, having a hook structure, can be mounted above the upper sidewall of the functional bottom housing 39, and at least one fourth latching structure, having a hook structure, can be mounted below the lower sidewall of the functional bottom housing 39. The corresponding fifth latching structure 358 can be a latching hole structure that latches with the aforementioned hook structure. The corresponding fifth latching structure 358 is mounted on the rear side of the functional panel 32 at intervals along the vertical direction, with the number of fifth latching structures 358 corresponding to the number of fourth latching structures 357. In this manner, the latching arrangement of the fourth latching structure 357 and the fifth latching structure 358 enables a removable connection between the functional bottom housing 39 and the functional panel 32. In addition, the installation positions of the hooks and the clamping holes can also be exchanged for clamping and installing the functional bottom shell 39 and the functional panel 32. The setting method of the first clamping structure 36 can be referred to and is not limited to this.
[0103] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, compared to the first modular switchgear 100, in the second modular switchgear 100 including the positioning transition component 5, the live conductor 352, the neutral conductor 353 and the ground conductor 354 in the functional component 3 need to pass through the positioning transition component 51 to connect to the grid power supply or other power supply side. Based on this, Figure 16 As shown, the rear side wall of the functional bottom shell 39 may be provided with a fifth through hole 375. The number of the fifth through holes 375 may be two and may be spaced apart along the left and right directions. Figure 17 A sixth through hole 56 is also provided on the rear side wall of the positioning transition piece 51, corresponding to each fifth through hole 375. That is, two sixth through holes 56 can be provided on the rear side wall of the positioning transition piece 51. Thus, after the functional bottom shell 39 is inserted from front to back through the plug opening 53 into the plug cavity 52 and snapped into place, at least one of the live wire connector 293, the right positioning post 382, and the right threaded terminal 383 can be passed through the right fifth through hole 375 and the right sixth through hole 56 in sequence from front to back. Alternatively, at least one of the neutral wire conductive piece 353, the left positioning post 382, and the left threaded terminal 383 can be passed through the left fifth through hole 375 and the left sixth through hole 56 in sequence from front to back.
[0104] Continue to refer to Figure 17, a seventh through hole 376 may be further provided on the rear side wall of the functional bottom shell 39, and an eighth through hole 57 may be provided on the rear side wall of the positioning transition piece 51 corresponding to the seventh through hole 376. In this way, after the functional bottom shell 39 is inserted from front to back through the plug opening 53 into the plug cavity 52 and snapped into place, one end of the ground wire conductive member 353 may be passed through the seventh through hole 376 and the eighth through hole 57 in sequence from front to back. Alternatively, a wire or other conductive structure may be connected to the ground wire conductive member 353 and passed through the seventh through hole 376, the eighth through hole 57 and the second through hole 262 in sequence (e.g., Figure 4 As shown) is connected to the rocker cavity 232 (as shown Figure 8 The ground terminal 297 in FIG.
[0105] Furthermore, in some other embodiments, in order to connect the ground conductor 354 to the ground terminal 297, if the modular switchgear 100 includes a positioning transition piece 51, a conductive connector can be embedded in the rear side wall of the positioning transition piece 51, and the ground conductor 354 installed in the plug-in cavity 52 can extend rearward and contact and connect with the front end of the conductive connector, and the rear end of the conductive connector can penetrate the positioning transition piece 51 and contact and connect with the ground terminal 297 located in the installation cavity 23 or the rocker cavity 232. If the modular switchgear 100 does not include a positioning transition piece 51, a conductive connector can be directly embedded in the rear side wall of the functional transition piece 31, and the ground conductor 354 installed in the plug-in cavity 52 can contact and connect with the front end of the conductive connector, and the rear end of the conductive connector can penetrate the functional transition piece 31 and contact and connect with the ground terminal 297 located in the installation cavity 23 or the rocker cavity 232. The modular switchgear 100 is only used to control the functional module to connect or disconnect the power supply through the live wire rocker 292. The connection scheme between the neutral wire conductive member 353 and the neutral wire terminal 294 can also be set according to the above structure.
[0106] In some embodiments, as Figure 17 As shown, two second positioning blind holes 58 may be further defined on the rear sidewall of the positioning transition piece 51 from rear to front. The two second positioning blind holes 58 may be spaced apart in the left-right direction. The axes of the two second positioning blind holes 58 may be positioned close to each other in the vertical direction, and the plane in which the axes of the two second positioning blind holes 58 lie may be perpendicular to the vertical direction.
[0107] Based on this, Figure 18 As shown, Figure 18 for Figure 15 A cross-sectional view of the modular switchgear 100 is shown. The positioning transition member 51 rotatably mounted in the transition chamber 231 can also be rotated between the first preset position and the second preset position. The functional component 3 and the positioning transition component 5 are synchronously rotated to Figure 18Taking the first preset position shown as an example, the ball assembly 4 can also include a second ball assembly 42. The second ball assembly 42 can be arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the second positioning blind hole 58. Each second ball assembly 42 can include a second spring 421 and a second sliding ball 422, and the number of second ball assemblies 42 can be two. The front end of one of the second sliding balls 422 can be inserted into the second positioning blind hole 58 on the right, and a second spring 421 is squeezed and installed between the front end of the second sliding ball 422 and the front bottom wall of the second positioning blind hole 58. Another second spring 421 and another second sliding ball 422 can be squeezed and installed in the corresponding second positioning blind hole 58 on the left from front to back. That is, the upper end of each second ball assembly 42 can be inserted into a second positioning blind hole 58, so that the upper end of the first ball assembly 41 located in the second positioning blind hole 58 can squeeze and contact the positioning transition piece 51, so that the functional component 3 connected to the positioning transition piece 51 can be squeezed through the positioning transition piece 51. Therefore, referring to Figure 18 When the positioning transition piece 51 and the functional bottom shell 39 are in the first preset position, the live wire conductive piece 352 (such as Figure 17 (as shown) can protrude rearwardly from the rear sidewall of the positioning transition piece 51 through itself, the right-hand screw terminal 383, or even the conductive structure's positioning post 382. In this way, the live wire conductive member 352 can approach the lower end of the live wire seesaw member 292 through the right-hand screw terminal 383 and can contact or even form a close connection with the live wire seesaw terminal 298 mounted on the lower end of the live wire seesaw member 292. Furthermore, at this time, the rear end of the right-hand second sliding pin 422 can press and contact the upper end of the live wire seesaw member 292, allowing the lower end of the live wire seesaw member 292 to approach the positioning transition piece 51 forward and maintain contact with the right-hand screw terminal 383.
[0108] In this way, the live wire conductive member 352 can maintain electrical connection with the live wire terminal 291 through the right-side screw terminal 383, the live wire rocker terminal 298, the live wire rocker member 292, and the live wire connecting member 293. The provision of the screw terminal 383 and the live wire rocker terminal 298 helps to increase the contact area between the live wire conductive member 352 and the live wire rocker member 292.
[0109] Correspondingly, when the positioning transition piece 51 and the functional bottom housing 39 are in the first preset position, the neutral conductor 353 can protrude rearwardly from the rear sidewall of the positioning transition piece 51 through itself, the left-side threaded terminal 383, or even the conductive structure's positioning post 382. In this way, the neutral conductor 353 can move rearwardly toward the lower end of the neutral seesaw 295 via the left-side threaded terminal 383 and can contact or even form a close connection with the neutral seesaw terminal 299 mounted at the lower end of the neutral seesaw 295. Furthermore, the rear end of the left-side second sliding pin 422 can press against the upper end of the neutral seesaw 295, allowing the lower end of the neutral seesaw 295 to move forward toward the positioning transition piece 51 and maintain contact with the left-side threaded terminal 383. In this way, the neutral conductor 353 can maintain electrical connection with the neutral connection terminal 294 through the left-side threaded terminal 383, the neutral seesaw terminal 299, the neutral seesaw 295, and the neutral connector 296.
[0110] Based on this, in the modular switchgear 100 in the above embodiment, during the process of the positioning transition piece 51 and the functional component 3 rotating from the first preset position to the second preset position, the positioning transition piece 51 and the functional component 3 are rotated from the first preset position to the second preset position. Figure 18 , positioning transition piece 51 and functional component 3 (such as Figure 17 As shown) can be rotated clockwise synchronously, and the live wire seesaw piece 292 and the neutral wire seesaw piece 295 (as shown) can be rotated clockwise synchronously. Figure 7 As shown in FIG2 , the first embodiment of the present invention can be rotated counterclockwise so that the live wire conductive member 352 can be separated from the lower end of the live wire seesaw member 292, and the neutral wire conductive member 353 can also be separated from the lower end of the neutral wire seesaw member 295. After the live wire conductive member 352 is disconnected from the lower end of the live wire seesaw member 292, and the neutral wire conductive member 353 is disconnected from the lower end of the neutral wire seesaw member 295, the positioning transition member 51 and the functional component 3 can be rotated to the second preset position and be in a stable state, so that the functional component 3 and the seesaw component 3 (as shown in FIG2 ) can be rotated counterclockwise so that the live wire conductive member 352 can be separated from the lower end of the live wire seesaw member 292, and the neutral wire conductive member 353 can be separated from the lower end of the neutral wire seesaw member 295. Figure 15 As shown in FIG, the power supply 12 of the functional component 3 can be in an off state (ie, disconnected). This allows the functional component 3 to be powered on or off by controlling the rocker assembly 2. Furthermore, the positioning transition piece 51 does not need to be disassembled during the process of disassembling and replacing the functional component 3, which is very convenient.
[0111] It should be noted that, taking the example of a socket structure consisting of a functional component 3 and a rocker assembly 2 connected in the front-to-back direction, a single socket structure can be installed in the mounting holes 13 of the mounting frame 11 in the left-right direction, or two, three, four, or even more socket structures can be installed. This is accomplished by simply adjusting the left-to-right dimensions of the mounting frame 11 accordingly. For example, an 86-type mounting frame 11 can accommodate a single socket structure, while a 118-type mounting frame can accommodate two, three, or even four socket structures, depending on the width.
[0112] For example, Figure 19 As shown, Figure 19 The mounting frame 11 in the embodiment can be the smallest 118-type mounting frame 11, that is, the two rocker assemblies 2 can be distributed in sequence along the left and right directions and connected to the mounting frame 11, a rocker assembly 2 on the left can be connected to a functional assembly 3 on the left, and a rocker assembly 2 on the right can be connected to a functional assembly 3 on the right. It should be noted that, in the case where the modular switchgear 100 also includes a positioning transition assembly 5, each rocker assembly 2 is sequentially connected to a positioning transition piece 51 and a functional assembly 3 from back to front. If the module makes the switchgear 100 include only a face frame (such as Figure 1 As shown), the rocker assembly 2 and the functional assembly 3, each rocker assembly 2 only needs to be connected to one functional assembly 3 along the front-to-back direction.
[0113] When the modular switchgear 100 also includes a positioning transition assembly 5, the second pin assembly 42 and the second positioning blind hole 58 in the positioning transition assembly 5 may also have other setting schemes, and corresponding adjustments may be made with reference to other installation schemes of the first pin assembly 41 and the first positioning blind hole 374.
[0114] Correspondingly, if no seesaw member is installed in the seesaw cavity 232 or the installation cavity 23, the first ball assembly 41 can be compressed and supported between the upper end of the functional transition member 31 and the partition 21 in the front-to-back direction, or the second ball assembly 42 can be compressed and supported between the upper end of the positioning transition member 51 and the partition 21 in the front-to-back direction. This is to continuously apply a force to the functional transition member 31 or the positioning transition member 51 to rotate toward the first preset position. For example, when the functional transition member 31 is in the second preset position, the functional transition member 31 can be positioned by a snap-fit structure to prevent the functional transition member 31 from rotating toward the first preset position, thereby maintaining the disconnected state of the functional component 3. A snap-fit limiting structure can be correspondingly provided between the positioning transition member 51 and the partition 21 so that the positioning transition member 51 can be limited and maintained in the first preset position.
[0115] Among them, the live wire conductive member 352 can also be used to directly contact the live wire seesaw member 292 or the live wire terminal 291. The corresponding neutral wire conductive member 353 can also be used to directly contact the neutral wire seesaw member 295 or the neutral wire terminal 294, which has a simple structure. Alternatively, the right-side threaded terminal 383 can be directly passed through the rear side wall of the functional transition member 31 from back to front and connected to the live wire conductive member 352 in the functional cavity 34. Correspondingly, the left-side threaded terminal 383 can also be directly passed through the rear side wall of the functional transition member 31 from back to front and connected to the neutral wire conductive member 353 in the functional cavity 34. In this way, there is no need to additionally open the third through hole 372, and the structure is simple.
[0116] If the modular switchgear 100 also includes a positioning transition assembly 5, the right-side threaded terminal 383 can be passed directly through the rear sidewall of the functional transition member 31 from back to front and connected to the live conductor 352 within the functional cavity 34. Correspondingly, the left-side threaded terminal 383 can also be passed directly through the rear sidewall of the functional transition member 31 from back to front and connected to the neutral conductor 353 within the functional cavity 34. Based on this, two conductive posts can be installed on the rear sidewall of the positioning transition member 51, extending through the rear sidewall. After the functional assembly 3 is positioned within the insertion cavity 52 and installed in place, the rear end face of the right-side threaded terminal 383 can contact the front end face of one of the conductive posts, which is used to contact the lower end of the live seesaw 292. The rear end face of the left-side threaded terminal 383 can contact the front end face of another conductive post, which is used to contact the lower end of the neutral seesaw 295. This eliminates the need for additional fifth and sixth through holes 375 and 56, simplifying the structure.
[0117] In some embodiments, as Figure 20 As shown, Figure 20 for Figure 15 The functional component 3 shown in the figure is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of a charging interface module. At this time, the number of functional holes 351 opened on the functional panel 32 can be one, two or three, which are used to insert one end of the charging line to directly provide a DC charging current. Among them, taking the number of functional holes 351 as an example, the multiple functional holes 351 can be spaced apart along the upper direction or along the left and right directions, and there is no limitation on this. In this way, the functional cavity 34 (such as Figure 16 The corresponding transformer module and DC conversion module are installed (as shown), and a plug terminal is installed corresponding to each functional hole 351. In this way, through the power supply of the live conductor 352 and the neutral conductor 353, the high-voltage AC mains power can be converted into low-voltage DC power under the action of the transformer module and the DC conversion module, and then charged to the electrical device through the plug terminal.
[0118] In addition, if Figure 21 As shown, Figure 21 for Figure 15 The functional component 3 shown in FIG is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a lighting module. In this case, a functional hole 351 can be opened on the functional panel 32, and the corresponding functional component 3 can also include a light-transmitting panel 359 installed on the edge of the functional panel 32 near the functional hole 351. In the functional cavity 34 (such as Figure 16A light-emitting element (such as an LED lamp bead or other light bulb) is correspondingly installed in the functional cavity 34. If the light-emitting element is an LED (Light-Emitting Diode) lamp bead, a corresponding power conversion module can also be installed in the functional cavity 34. The input end of the power conversion module can be connected to the live conductor 352 and the neutral conductor 353, and the output end of the power conversion module can be connected to the LED lamp bead to provide the required current to the LED lamp bead, so that the LED lamp bead can light up and illuminate the space around the modular switch device 100 through the light-transmitting panel 359.
[0119] It should be noted that if the functional component 3 is a lighting module, the functional panel 32 can be made of a material with high light transmittance. This eliminates the need for additional functional holes 351 on the functional panel 32, resulting in a simpler structure. If the functional component 3 is a charging interface module, the charging structure module can also be directly configured as a wireless charging device, again eliminating the need for functional holes 351 on the functional panel 32.
