Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of switch and socket technology, and more particularly to a switch and socket panel for preventing plug loosening and its installation method. Background Technology

[0002] Switch and socket panels are terminal electrical accessories installed on the wall, integrating the functions of switches and sockets. They also serve the purposes of electrical safety, circuit control, power connection, and decoration, and are a basic component of building electrical systems.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN224082772U, published on April 3, 2026, discloses a dustproof industrial switch socket, including a mounting shell, a protective cover, and a switch socket. The switch socket is fixed inside the mounting shell, and the protective cover is disposed on the mounting shell. The protective cover includes an upper cover and a lower cover. The lower cover is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the mounting shell, and the top two sides of the lower cover are fixedly connected to the two sides of the mounting shell. The upper cover is disposed on the lower cover, and the top of the upper cover is rotatably connected to the protective cover through a damping pivot.

[0004] After the industrial power plug is connected to the switch panel, the connection between the plug and the switch panel may become loose due to the influence of external mechanical vibration. On the one hand, operators need to repeatedly plug and unplug the plug, which is inconvenient and the plug prongs are prone to deformation. On the other hand, a loose connection between the plug and the switch panel may cause a sharp increase in line resistance and lead to circuit accidents. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a switch and socket panel with anti-loosening plug and its installation method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a switch and socket panel that prevents plug loosening and its installation method in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A switch and socket panel for preventing plug loosening includes a panel housing. A vertical base is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the panel housing, and a horizontal base is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vertical base. A movable connecting rod is connected between the inner wall of the horizontal base and the inner wall of the vertical base. A push button is fixedly connected to one side of the movable connecting rod, and a second spring is fixedly connected between the other side of the movable connecting rod and the inner wall of the horizontal base. A retaining strip is connected to the inner wall of the vertical base via the first spring, and a locking component for locking the position of the movable connecting rod is provided on the outer side of the retaining strip. A reset button is slidably connected to the outer wall of the vertical base, and a reset component for resetting the push button is provided between the reset button and the interior of the vertical base. Two sets of clamping bars and a pushing component for pushing the two sets of clamping bars to move relative to each other are provided between the movable connecting rod and the horizontal base.

[0008] Preferably, both the push button and the reset button are fitted with an outer frame that is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vertical seat, and a locking rod is screwed onto the outer wall of the outer frame.

[0009] Preferably, the reset assembly includes a reset seat fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vertical seat, a reset connecting rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the reset button, a spring fixedly connected between the open end of the reset connecting rod and the inner wall of the reset seat, a reset protrusion fixedly connected to the outer wall of the reset connecting rod, and the outer wall of the reset protrusion slidingly connected to the inner wall of the retaining strip via a pushing groove.

[0010] Preferably, the opposing surfaces of both sets of clamping strips are fixedly connected with elastic pads.

[0011] Preferably, a connecting piece is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the horizontal seat and the reset seat, and the connecting piece is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the panel housing by a fastening rod.

[0012] Preferably, the inner surface of the vertical seat is fixedly connected to a fixing sleeve that slides with the card strip.

[0013] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a movable protrusion fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable link, and the inner wall of the locking strip is provided with a pushing groove and a locking slot that fit with the movable protrusion.

[0014] Preferably, the two sets of clamping bars are slidably connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the cross seat via a sliding groove, and a rack is fixedly connected to the top of each set of clamping bars. A gear is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cross seat, the moving connecting rod is meshed with the gear, and both sets of racks are meshed with the gear.

[0015] Preferably, each of the two sets of racks has a slide block fixedly connected to its outer wall, and the inner wall of the cross seat has two sets of slide rails fixedly connected to its inner wall, with the two sets of slide blocks slidingly engaging with the two sets of slide rails respectively.

[0016] The installation method for a switch and socket panel that prevents plug loosening includes the following steps:

[0017] S1. After the plug is connected to the panel, press the corresponding push button. The push button is linked to the corresponding moving link and moving protrusion. The moving protrusion first pushes the locking strip to move by cooperating with the push groove, and the spring is compressed.

[0018] S2. After the moving protrusion disengages from the push groove, the spring pushes the locking bar to reset, and the locking groove engages with the moving protrusion, thus locking the position of the moving link.

[0019] S3. During this process, the moving linkage will drive the gear to rotate, and the gear will mesh with two sets of racks at the same time. The two sets of racks will move in conjunction with the two sets of clamping bars to move relative to each other. The two sets of clamping bars will press against the outer wall of the plug, thereby locking the position of the plug.

[0020] S4. Push the reset button. The reset button is linked to the reset linkage and the reset protrusion. The spring three between the reset linkage and the inner wall of the reset seat is squeezed. After the reset protrusion slides completely into the reset groove, the spring two pushes the moving linkage and the moving protrusion to reset. The moving linkage pushes the gear in the opposite direction. The gear pushes the two sets of racks and the corresponding clamping bars to reset.

[0021] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] 1. In this application, after a single plug is connected to the panel, pressing the corresponding push button activates the corresponding moving linkage and moving protrusion. The moving protrusion first pushes the locking strip to move through its engagement with the pushing groove, compressing the spring. After the moving protrusion disengages from the pushing groove, the spring pushes the locking strip back to its original position, and the locking groove engages with the moving protrusion, thus locking the position of the moving linkage. During this process, the moving linkage drives the gear to rotate, which simultaneously meshes with two sets of racks. The two sets of racks, in turn, cause the two sets of clamping bars to move relative to each other, pressing the two sets of clamping bars tightly against the outer wall of the plug, thereby locking the position of the plug. In principle, when multiple plugs are connected to the panel, multiple push buttons can be pushed simultaneously to drive multiple corresponding clamping bars synchronously. Whether it is a single plug connection or multiple plug connections, only the reset button needs to be pushed afterward. The reset button, in conjunction with the reset linkage and reset protrusion, compresses the spring between the reset linkage and the inner wall of the reset cross seat. After the reset protrusion slides completely into the reset groove, the spring pushes the moving linkage and moving protrusion to reset. The moving linkage then pushes the gear in the opposite direction, and the gear pushes the two sets of racks and corresponding clamping bars to reset. This can prevent the plug from loosening while ensuring the convenience of plug positioning and release.

[0023] 2. In this application, an outer frame is provided on the outside of the reset button and multiple push buttons, which is fixedly engaged with the vertical outer wall. The locking rod of the outer wall of the outer frame is rotated until its open end abuts against the outer wall of the knob. The friction generated can lock the position of the push button and the reset button, thereby realizing the auxiliary position locking of the push button and the reset button, avoiding accidental contact, and further improving the stability of the switch and socket panel that prevents plug loosening.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0034] A switch and socket panel for preventing plug loosening includes a panel housing 1. A vertical seat 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the panel housing 1. A horizontal seat 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vertical seat 2. A moving link 17 is connected between the horizontal seat 3 and the inner wall of the vertical seat 2. A push button 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving link 17, and a spring 21 is fixedly connected between the other side of the moving link 17 and the inner wall of the horizontal seat 3. A retaining strip 11 is connected to the inner wall of the vertical seat 2 through a spring 15. A locking component for locking the position of the moving link 17 is provided on the outer side of the retaining strip 11. A reset button 10 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the vertical seat 2. A reset component for resetting the push button 7 is provided between the reset button 10 and the interior of the vertical seat 2. Two sets of clamping bars 4 and a push component for pushing the two sets of clamping bars 4 to move relative to each other are provided between the moving link 17 and the horizontal seat 3.

[0035] The installation method for a switch and socket panel that prevents plug loosening includes the following steps:

[0036] S1. After the plug is connected to the panel, press the corresponding push button 7. The push button 7 is linked with the corresponding moving link 17 and moving protrusion 20. The moving protrusion 20 first pushes the locking strip 11 to move by cooperating with the push groove 18, and the spring 15 is compressed.

[0037] S2. After the movable protrusion 20 disengages from the push groove 18, the spring 15 pushes the locking strip 11 to reset, and the locking groove 19 engages with the movable protrusion 20, thus locking the position of the movable link 17.

[0038] S3. During this process, the moving link 17 will drive the gear 22 to rotate, and the gear 22 will simultaneously mesh with the two sets of racks 23. The two sets of racks 23 will move in conjunction with the two sets of clamping bars 4 to move relative to each other. The two sets of clamping bars 4 will be in close contact with the outer wall of the plug, thereby locking the position of the plug.

[0039] S4. Push the reset button 10. The reset button 10 is linked to the reset link 13 and the reset protrusion 14. The spring 3 between the reset link 13 and the inner wall of the reset seat is squeezed. After the reset protrusion 14 slides completely with the reset groove 16, the spring 21 pushes the moving link 17 and the moving protrusion 20 to reset. The moving link 17 pushes the gear 22 in the opposite direction. The gear 22 pushes the two sets of racks 23 and the corresponding clamping bars 4 to reset.

[0040] After a single plug is connected to the panel, pressing the corresponding push button 7 activates the corresponding moving link 17 and moving protrusion 20. The moving protrusion 20 first moves the locking strip 11 by engaging with the pushing groove 18, compressing the spring 15. After the moving protrusion 20 disengages from the pushing groove 18, the spring 15 pushes the locking strip 11 back to its original position, and the locking groove 19 engages with the moving protrusion 20, thus locking the position of the moving link 17. During this process, the moving link 17 drives the gear 22 to rotate, which simultaneously meshes with two sets of racks 23. The two sets of racks 23, in turn, cause the two sets of clamping bars 4 to move relative to each other, pressing them tightly against the outer wall of the plug, thereby locking the plug's position. Similarly, when multiple plugs are connected to the panel, multiple push buttons 7 can be pushed simultaneously to drive multiple corresponding clamping bars 4. Whether it is a single plug connection or multiple plug connections, the reset button 10 is pushed afterward. The reset button 10 is linked to the reset link 13 and the reset protrusion 14. The spring 3 between the reset link 13 and the inner wall of the reset seat is squeezed. After the reset protrusion 14 slides completely with the reset groove 16, the spring 21 pushes the moving link 17 and the moving protrusion 20 to reset. The moving link 17 pushes the gear 22 in the opposite direction. The gear 22 pushes the two sets of racks 23 and the corresponding clamping bars 4 to reset. This can achieve the anti-loosening of the plug while ensuring the convenience of plug positioning and release.

[0041] Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that:

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, both the push button 7 and the reset button 10 are fitted with an outer frame 6 that is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vertical base 2. A locking rod 8 is screwed onto the outer wall of the outer frame 6. An outer frame 6 that is fixedly engaged with the vertical outer wall is provided on the outer side of the reset button 10 and multiple sets of push buttons 7. Rotating the locking rod 8 on the outer wall of the outer frame 6 until its open end abuts against the outer wall of the knob generates friction that locks the positions of the push button 7 and the reset button 10. This provides auxiliary position locking for the push button 7 and the reset button 10, preventing accidental activation and further improving the stability of the switch and socket panel designed to prevent plug loosening. The reset assembly includes a reset base fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vertical base 2, and a reset button... A reset link 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of button 10. A spring 3 is fixedly connected between the open end of reset link 13 and the inner wall of reset seat. A reset protrusion 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of reset link 13. The outer wall of reset protrusion 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of clamping strip 11 through pushing inclined groove 18. Pushing reset button 10, reset button 10 is linked to reset link 13 and reset protrusion 14. Spring 3 between reset link 13 and inner wall of reset seat is squeezed. After reset protrusion 14 is completely slid with reset inclined groove 16, spring 21 pushes moving link 17 and moving protrusion 20 to reset. Moving link 17 pushes gear 22 in the opposite direction. Gear 22 pushes two sets of racks 23 and corresponding clamping strips 4 to reset.

[0043] Example 3 differs from Example 2 in that:

[0044] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, elastic pads are fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two sets of clamping bars 4 to further ensure the stability of the clamping bars 4 and the plug. A connecting piece 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the horizontal seat 3 and the reset seat. The connecting piece 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the panel housing 1 through a fastening rod, which ensures the convenience of assembling and disassembling the horizontal seat 3 and the vertical seat 2 as a whole. A fixing sleeve 12 that slides with the locking bar 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the vertical seat 2 to ensure the stability of the sliding of the locking bar 11. The locking component includes a moving protrusion 20 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the moving linkage 17. The inner wall of the locking bar 11 is provided with a push groove 18 and a slot 19 that fit with the moving protrusion 20. The push button 7 is linked to the corresponding moving linkage 17 and the moving protrusion 20. The moving protrusion 20 first pushes the locking bar 11 to move by cooperating with the push groove 18, and the spring 15 is compressed. When the moving protrusion 20 disengages from the push, the spring 15 is compressed. After the inclined groove 18, the spring 15 pushes the retaining bar 11 to reset, and the retaining groove 19 will engage with the moving protrusion 20. At this time, the position of the moving link 17 is locked. The two sets of clamping bars 4 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the horizontal seat 3 through the sliding groove 9. The top of the two sets of clamping bars 4 are fixedly connected to the rack 23. The inner wall of the horizontal seat 3 is rotatably connected to the gear 22. The moving link 17 is meshed with the gear 22. The two sets of racks 23 are meshed with the gear 22. The moving link 17 will push the gear 22 to rotate. The gear 22 will mesh with the two sets of racks 23 at the same time. The two sets of racks 23 will move the two sets of clamping bars 4 in conjunction with each other. The two sets of clamping bars 4 are tightly attached to the outer wall of the plug. The outer wall of the two sets of racks 23 is fixedly connected to the slide block. The inner wall of the horizontal seat 3 is fixedly connected to the two sets of slide rails. The two sets of slide blocks are slidably engaged with the two sets of slide rails respectively to ensure the stability of the position of the two sets of racks 23.

[0045] Working principle: After a single plug is connected to the panel, pressing the corresponding push button 7 activates the corresponding moving link 17 and moving protrusion 20. The moving protrusion 20 first pushes the locking strip 11 to move through its engagement with the pushing groove 18, compressing the spring 15. After the moving protrusion 20 disengages from the pushing groove 18, the spring 15 pushes the locking strip 11 back to its original position, and the locking groove 19 engages with the moving protrusion 20, thus locking the position of the moving link 17. During this process, the moving link 17 drives the gear 22 to rotate, which in turn meshes with two sets of racks 23. The two sets of racks 23 then move the two sets of clamping bars 4 relative to each other, causing them to press tightly against the outer wall of the plug, thereby locking the plug's position. Similarly, when multiple plugs are connected to the panel, simply pushing multiple push buttons 7 simultaneously will synchronously drive multiple sets of relative clamping bars 4. Whether connecting a single plug or multiple plugs, subsequent push buttons 7 only need to be pressed to reset the position of the clamping bars 4. The reset button 10 is linked to the reset linkage 13 and the reset protrusion 14. The spring 3 between the reset linkage 13 and the inner wall of the reset seat is squeezed. After the reset protrusion 14 slides completely with the reset groove 16, the spring 21 pushes the moving linkage 17 and the moving protrusion 20 to reset. The moving linkage 17 pushes the gear 22 in the opposite direction. The gear 22 pushes the two sets of racks 23 and the corresponding clamping bars 4 to reset. This can realize the anti-loosening of the plug while ensuring the convenience of plug positioning and release. The reset button 10 and the multiple push buttons 7 are all provided with an outer frame 6 that is fixedly matched with the vertical outer wall. Rotating the locking rod 8 of the outer wall of the outer frame 6 until its open end abuts against the outer wall of the knob, the friction generated can lock the position of the push button 7 and the reset button 10. This can realize the auxiliary position locking of the push button 7 and the reset button 10, avoid their accidental contact, and further improve the stability of the switch socket panel that prevents plug loosening.
