Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical equipment protection technology, and specifically to an electrical protective cover with a split-type cable sheath. Background Technology

[0002] Existing electrical equipment (such as wall switches, sockets, lamp holders, and circuit board interfaces) is typically equipped with protective covers or junction boxes to extend the equipment's lifespan and prevent electric shock. However, current protective products on the market still have the following shortcomings:

[0003] First: Most existing protective covers only cover the switch panel or socket hole, but lack targeted protection for the wire joints, circuit board wiring ports, indicator light terminals and power sensor points leading out from the switch body. Oil fumes and moisture can easily enter the electrical connection points through the gaps in the exposed wires, causing joint oxidation, poor contact or even short circuit and leakage, which poses a serious safety hazard.

[0004] Second: When the existing protective cover is used to lead out the cable, if it is necessary to insert a wire harness with a plug or a large volume, the plug must be cut or the wiring must be damaged before the wire is inserted and then reconnected. The operation is extremely cumbersome and can easily damage the cable.

[0005] Therefore, a new type of protective cover is needed that can simultaneously provide full coverage of electrical connection points, facilitate easy wiring with a separate design, and be flexibly adaptable, in order to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the above-mentioned technologies.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of the present invention provides an electrical protective cover with a split-type cable sheath, comprising: a base frame, a cable sheath, and a cover plate. The base frame has a channel opening on one side, extending through the top of the base frame, and the channel opening includes an inner hole and an outer hole. A limiting ring is provided on the base frame within the outer hole. The cable sheath, installed within the outer hole, comprises an upper shell and a lower shell. An insert is provided on one side of the upper shell. A slot extending through both ends is provided on one side of the lower shell. The other side of the upper shell is connected to the other side of the lower shell. One side of the upper shell fits against one side of the lower shell through the engagement of the insert and the slot. A limiting groove is provided at one end of both the upper and lower shells, and is installed within the outer hole through the engagement of the limiting ring. The cover plate is movably connected to the base frame.

[0008] In addition, the electrical protective cover with a split-type wire sheath proposed according to the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0009] Furthermore, the cover plate is connected to the bottom frame by a hinge, and a first insertion port is provided on the bottom of one side of the cover plate. When the cover plate closes the bottom frame, the first insertion port is fitted onto the wire protection sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the bottom frame is provided with an inverted T-shaped groove, and the bottom of the cover plate is provided with a T-shaped slider that slides in the T-shaped groove. An arc-shaped bending ring is provided on the bottom of one side of the cover plate. When the cover plate slides along the bottom frame, the bending ring moves with the cover plate and is fitted onto the wire protection sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the bottom frame is provided with a fitting groove, a first magnetic block is provided in the fitting groove, and a second magnetic block is provided at the bottom of the cover plate, which cooperates with the first magnetic block to be attracted to the bottom frame. A second insertion port is provided at the bottom of one side of the cover plate, and when the cover plate is attracted to the bottom frame, the second insertion port is fitted onto the cable protection sleeve.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom frame is cylindrical, and the cover plate is composed of two semi-annular sleeves. One end of the two semi-annular sleeves is hinged to the outer wall of the bottom frame, and the other end is attached to each other. A third magnetic block is provided on the top of the two semi-annular sleeves and they attract each other. A semi-circular hole is opened on the contact surface of the two semi-annular sleeves and covers the wire protection sleeve.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom frame is a square bottom frame, and the cover plate is a square cover plate that matches the square bottom frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom frame is a long strip-shaped bottom frame, and the cover plate is a long strip-shaped cover plate that matches the long strip-shaped bottom frame.

[0015] Furthermore, multiple channel openings are provided, and each channel opening is detachably connected to the cable protection sleeve.

[0016] Furthermore, the cable sheath is a bent plate.

[0017] The present invention provides an electrical protective cover with a split cable sheath, which enables convenient cable threading and sealed protection. The cover has multiple shapes and designs to adapt to various application scenarios such as wall switches, sockets, lamp holders, sensor points, circuit board branch ports and multi-way branching. It has the advantages of reliable structure, simple operation, wide applicability and environmental protection and durability. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, with examples of the embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, an electrical protective cover device with a split-type wire sheath according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a bottom frame 1, a wire sheath 2, and a cover plate 3.

[0034] The bottom frame 1 has a channel opening 11 on one side, which extends through the top of the bottom frame 1. The channel opening 11 includes an inner hole 111 and an outer hole 112. A limit ring 113 is provided on the bottom frame 1 located in the outer hole 112. The wire sleeve 2 is installed in the outer hole 112. The cover plate 3 is movably connected to the bottom frame 1.

[0035] It should be noted that the cable sleeve 2 is a bending plate. After the wire is installed, the insertion strip 211 can be inserted into the slot 221 due to its bending characteristics.

[0036] It should be noted that the base frame 1 is a square base frame, and the cover plate 3 is a square cover plate that matches the square base frame. It is suitable for most household wall switches, sockets, lamp holders and circuit board wiring ports and other electrical equipment.

[0037] It should be noted that the bottom frame 1, the cable sleeve 2, and the cover plate 3 are made of metal or metal-plastic composite. The metal material can be aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc., which provides good structural strength and shielding performance. The metal-plastic composite can be metal powder filled plastic or metal-plated composite material, which combines the shielding performance of metal and the lightweight and insulating properties of plastic, while meeting the requirements of new environmentally friendly materials.

[0038] As an alternative, cover plate 3 may also be made of engineering plastic alone.

[0039] The cable sheath 2 includes an upper shell 21 and a lower shell 22.

[0040] The upper shell 21 has an insert 211 on one side, and the lower shell 22 has a slot 221 with both ends through it on one side. The other side of the upper shell 21 is connected to the other side of the lower shell 22. The upper shell 21 fits into the lower shell 22 through the cooperation of the insert 211 and the slot 221. A limiting groove 212 is provided on one end of the upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22, and is installed in the outer hole 112 through the cooperation of the limiting ring 113.

[0041] Specifically, the cross-sections of the limiting ring 113 and the limiting groove 212 are both T-shaped, and the limiting ring 113 is made of rubber. After insertion, the cable sleeve 2 can be kept stable and not fall off by relying on the T-shaped engagement without the need for an additional locking structure.

[0042] Specifically, during installation, first fix the bottom frame 1 to the wall or the outside of the electrical equipment. Then, open the cable sleeve 2, put the cable into the cable sleeve 2, close the cable sleeve 2 so that the plug 211 is inserted into the slot 221, insert the cable sleeve 2 into the outer hole 112 so that the limiting groove 212 and the limiting ring 113 are engaged and fixed. Finally, put on the cover plate 3 so that the cover plate 3 closes the bottom frame 1, and the installation is completed.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cover plate 3 is connected to the bottom frame 1 by a hinge, and a first insertion port 31 is provided on the bottom of one side of the cover plate 3. When the cover plate 3 closes the bottom frame 1, the first insertion port 31 is fitted onto the wire protection sleeve 2.

[0045] Specifically, after the cable sheath 2 containing the cable is inserted into the outer hole 112, the cover plate 3 is rotated to close the bottom frame 1. At the same time, during the rotation of the cover plate 3, the first insertion port 31 passes through the cable sheath 2, thereby fitting the outer periphery of the cable sheath 2 and completing the installation.

[0046] It should be noted that after installation, the inner wall of the cover plate 3 fits against the outer wall of the bottom frame 1, thereby sealing the passage opening 11.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the top of the bottom frame 1 is provided with an inverted T-shaped slide groove 12, and the bottom of the cover plate 3 is provided with a T-shaped slider 32, which slides in the T-shaped slide groove 12. The bottom of one side of the cover plate 3 is provided with an arc-shaped bending ring 33. When the cover plate 3 slides along the bottom frame 1, the bending ring 33 moves with the cover plate 3 and is fitted onto the wire protection sleeve 2.

[0049] Specifically, after the cable sheath 2 containing the cable is inserted into the outer hole 112, the cover plate 3 is moved, and the T-shaped slider 32 is moved in the T-shaped groove 12, so that the cover plate 3 moves along the bottom frame 1 to the closed position. The arc-shaped bending ring 33 moves with the cover plate 3 and is fitted onto the cable sheath 2. The arc-shaped bending ring 33 fits against the outer wall of the bottom frame 1 to seal the passage opening 11.

[0050] It should be noted that this embodiment is applicable to scenarios where installation space is limited and the cover 3 cannot be flipped open, such as embedded home appliance switches, narrow wall gaps, etc.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] like Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the top of the bottom frame 1 is provided with a fitting groove 13, and a first magnetic block 14 is provided in the fitting groove 13. The bottom of the cover plate 3 is provided with a second magnetic block 34, which cooperates with the first magnetic block 14 and is attracted to the bottom frame 1. A second insertion port 35 is provided on the bottom of one side of the cover plate 3. When the cover plate 3 is attracted to the bottom frame 1, the second insertion port 35 is fitted onto the wire protection sleeve 2.

[0053] Specifically, after the cable sheath 2 containing the cable is inserted into the outer hole 112, the cover plate 3 is attracted to the bottom frame 1 by the magnetic attraction between the second magnetic block 34 and the first magnetic block 14. At this time, the second socket 35 passes through the cable sheath 2 and fits against the outer periphery of the cable sheath 2. Meanwhile, the inner wall of the cover plate 3 fits against the outer wall of the bottom frame 1, thereby sealing the channel opening 11.

[0054] It should be noted that this embodiment is applicable to electrical equipment that requires frequent disassembly and maintenance, such as sensors and indicator lights. The cover plate 3 can be quickly removed and installed using magnetic attraction.

[0055] Example 4

[0056] like Figure 13 As shown, the bottom frame 1 is cylindrical, and the cover plate 3 is composed of two semi-annular sleeves. One end of the two semi-annular sleeves is hinged to the outer wall of the bottom frame 1, and the other end is attached to each other. A third magnetic block 36 is provided on the top of the two semi-annular sleeves and they attract each other. A semi-circular hole 37 is opened on the contact surface of the two semi-annular sleeves and is covered with a protective sleeve 2.

[0057] Specifically, after the cable sheath 2 containing the cable is inserted into the outer hole 112, the two semi-circular sleeves are rotated so that the two semi-circular sleeves rotate and close around the bottom frame 1. The semi-circular holes 37 on the two semi-circular sleeves are connected and cover the cable sheath 2. At this time, the inner wall of the cover plate 3 is attached to the outer wall of the bottom frame 1, thereby sealing the passage 11.

[0058] It should be noted that this embodiment is applicable to cylindrical electrical equipment, such as circular switches and lamp holders.

[0059] like Figure 14 As shown, in one possible scenario, the bottom frame 1 is a long strip bottom frame, and the cover plate 3 is a long strip cover plate that matches the long strip bottom frame. The long strip bottom frame is suitable for the protection of electrical equipment such as lamp sockets and long strip lighting equipment.

[0060] like Figure 15 As shown, as one possible scenario, multiple channel ports 11 are provided, and each channel port 11 is detachably connected with a protective sleeve 2. This is suitable for scenarios that require multiple branch lines or multiple parallel lines, such as multiple branch lines branching off from the main line. Each channel port 11 corresponds to the lead-out of one branch line, achieving centralized protection with one entry and multiple exits.

[0061] It should be noted that the movable connection between the cover plate 3 and the bottom frame 1 can be any one of the above embodiments one to four.

[0062] In summary, the electrical protective cover with a split-type cable sheath according to an embodiment of the present invention achieves comprehensive protection for the electrical equipment and cable connection points through the overall cooperation of the bottom frame 1 covering the main body of the electrical equipment, the cable sheath 2 wrapping the wires, and the cover plate 3 sealing the bottom frame 1. The openable and pluggable structure of the cable sheath 2 makes cable threading simple and does not require cutting the plug. The various opening and closing methods of the cover plate 3, such as hinged flip cover, sliding pull, magnetic disassembly, and rotation opening and closing, as well as the various shapes of the bottom frame 1, such as square, long strip, and cylindrical, make the present invention adaptable to diverse application scenarios such as wall switches, sockets, lamp holders, sensor points, circuit board branch ports, and multi-way branching, and has extremely high industrial practicality and promotional value.
