Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch box technology, and specifically to a novel panel assembly for switch boxes. Background Art

[0002] Switch panels are mounted on walls to connect or disconnect household appliances, and also serve a certain aesthetic and decorative function. However, most switch panels on the market are currently single-panel designs. Existing rotary-opening panels are mostly assembled by welding a pivot and then fixing a baffle with bolts. The panel assembly also requires an assembly frame for mounting to the housing to allow the panel to be installed while rotating. This results in numerous components and a long assembly time, leading to low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1-3 The present invention discloses a novel panel assembly for a switch box, comprising a panel frame 10 with an opening 20, a cover plate 40 rotatably mounted at the opening 20 of the panel frame 10, and a back plate 30 for limiting the cover plate 40. The cover plate 40 has horizontally outwardly extending rotating portions 50 on both sides, and the rotating portions 50 and the cover plate 40 are integrally formed. The panel frame 10 has grooves 60 that cooperate with the rotating portions 50. The back plate 30 is fastened to the back of the panel frame 10 by bolts to prevent the rotating portions 50 from disengaging from the grooves 60.

[0026] Furthermore, both the back plate 30 and the opening 20 are rectangular structures, and the back plate 30 is a rectangular frame structure. The panel frame 10 is provided with an upwardly protruding connecting wall 70 for connecting the back plate 30, and the connecting wall 70 is also a rectangular frame structure.

[0027] Furthermore, the area of ​​the hollow portion of the back plate 30 is smaller than the area of ​​the opening 20, forming a limiting part 160. That is, the edges of the hollow portion of the back plate 30 extend towards the center to prevent the cover plate 40 from rotating counterclockwise into the box. In other words, the limiting part 160 abuts against the back of the cover plate 40. An integral connecting block 80 is also provided at the four corners of the hollow portion of the back plate 30, and a connecting hole 90 is provided on the connecting block.

[0028] Furthermore, the cover plate 40 is provided with an arc-shaped handle 100 on the side away from the rotating part 50, and the panel frame 10 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 150 for accommodating the handle 100. A gap a130 is left between the arc-shaped groove 150 and the handle 100 so that the user can open the top cover.

[0029] Furthermore, the cover plate 40 has a magnetic block 110 embedded near the handle 100, and the back plate 30 has a magnetic sheet 120 that cooperates with the magnetic block 110. The edge of the panel frame 10 has a chamfered surface 140 that is inclined towards the back.

[0030] Furthermore, the panel assembly consists of a panel frame 10, a cover plate 40, and a back plate 30. The number of components is small, and the cover plate 40 has an integrated rotating part 50, which greatly reduces the assembly difficulty and makes it very reliable.

[0031] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the design concept of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The technical content for which protection is sought in the present invention has been fully described in the claims.
