Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an improved structure of a connecting plate and a switch seat adopting the connecting plate. Background Art
[0002] In the field of electrical switches, the connection plate is a common component used to fix and connect switch modules and other related components. The traditional connection plate structure usually consists of a solid plate-shaped object to support the switch module and provide connection functions (connection between the switch module and the bottom box). However, there are some problems in the traditional design, especially in the connection between the connection plate and other components. There may be some challenges.
[0003] First, the connecting plate in the conventional design may deform as a whole due to the tightening of the bolts during the fixing process. This deformation may cause the shape of the connecting plate to change, thereby affecting the installation and operation of the switch module. For example, in the case where the switch module needs to be precisely aligned, the deformation of the connecting plate may cause inaccurate alignment, affecting the normal operation of the switch.
[0004] Secondly, the deformation of the connecting plate may also affect the operation of the button. In some switch designs, the button is connected to the connecting plate through the switch module to control the action of the switch. If the connecting plate is deformed, the position or movement of the button may be restricted, thus affecting the smoothness and accuracy of the user's button pressing.
[0005] Therefore, the traditional connection plate structure has some limitations in the fixing and connection process, which may affect the installation and operation of the switch module, as well as the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0006] The first object of the utility model is to provide an improved structure of a connecting plate which improves its stability and reliability.
[0007] The second purpose of the utility model is to provide a switch seat which improves the use effect of the switch.
[0008] The first purpose of the utility model is achieved in this way:
[0009] An improved connection plate structure includes a connection plate, wherein the connection plate is provided with a clamping opening for clamping a switch module;
[0010] The connection plate located at the periphery of the clamping opening is provided with fracture openings at intervals;
[0011] A connecting plate located beside the fracture opening and away from the clamping opening forms a deformation portion, and a notch is formed in the deformation portion.
[0012] Enhance the stability of the connecting plate: By setting the fracture and deformation parts, the connecting plate can be more firmly connected to other parts during the fixing process. This design can effectively reduce the possibility of overall deformation of the connecting plate, thereby ensuring that the connecting plate remains stable during use.
[0013] Improve the installation accuracy of the switch module: The setting of the fracture and deformation part allows the connection plate to be more accurately aligned and connected with other components. This helps to ensure that the switch module is correctly clamped on the connection plate without position deviation or inaccurate installation problems caused by deformation of the connection plate.
[0014] Improved key operation experience: By reducing the overall deformation of the connecting plate, the design can ensure that the connection between the key and the switch module remains stable. This can improve the operation sensitivity and accuracy of the key, and avoid the situation where the key operation is difficult or unsmooth due to the deformation of the connecting plate.
[0015] Enhance the durability of the connecting plate: The setting of the fracture opening and the deformation part can reduce the stress concentration on the connecting plate during the fixing and connection process, thereby extending the service life of the connecting plate.

[0017] The first purpose of the utility model can also be solved by the following technical measures:
[0018] Furthermore, a supporting block for supporting the deformation portion is provided on the back side of the connecting plate below the deformation portion.
[0019] Enhance the structural stability of the connecting plate: The support block can effectively support the deformed part of the connecting plate to prevent it from sinking or deforming below, thereby enhancing the overall structural stability of the connecting plate. This helps ensure that the connecting plate remains stable during long-term use and avoids the situation where the connection is not firm due to the sinking of the deformed part.
[0020] Improve the load bearing capacity of the connecting plate: The setting of the support block can disperse the concentrated force on the connecting plate, effectively reduce the pressure on the connecting plate and the switch module attached to it, and improve the load bearing capacity of the connecting plate. This helps to extend the service life of the connecting plate and increase its durability when it is subjected to external forces.
[0021] Simplified installation and maintenance process: The support block makes the connection plate more solid and stable, reducing the need for additional support or adjustment of the connection plate during installation. This simplifies the installation and maintenance process and reduces labor and time costs.
[0022] In summary, by setting a supporting block on the back of the connecting plate to support the bottom of the deformation part, the structural stability and load-bearing capacity of the connecting plate can be further enhanced, the stability and reliability of the switch system can be optimized, and the installation and maintenance process can be simplified, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the entire switch system.
[0023] Furthermore, a lower extension is provided on the back side of the connecting plate, and the supporting block is provided at a position of the lower extension corresponding to the deformation portion.
[0024] Enhance the overall stability of the connecting plate: The setting of the lower extension can provide additional support and stability, which helps to enhance the overall stability of the connecting plate. In this way, even in the face of external impact or pressure, the connecting plate can remain stable and is not easily deformed or damaged.
[0025] Improve the support effect of the deformation part: Setting the support block at the lower edge position can make the support effect between the support block and the deformation part more direct and effective. This setting ensures that the support block supports the deformation part more accurately, thereby further improving the structural stability and reliability of the connecting plate.
[0026] Reduce the impact of connection plate deformation on switch operation: The setting of the lower extension and the support block helps to reduce the impact of connection plate deformation on switch operation. By providing stronger support and stability, the connection plate is not easy to deform during the switch operation, thus ensuring the normal operation of the switch.
[0027] Simplify the manufacturing and assembly process: The design of the lower extension and the support block makes the manufacturing and assembly process of the connecting plate simpler and more efficient. Such a design can reduce manufacturing costs, improve production efficiency, and make the assembly of the connecting plate more convenient and quick.
[0028] Increase the durability of the connecting plate: The setting of the lower extension and the supporting block helps to reduce the wear and damage of the connecting plate during long-term use. This structural design can effectively extend the service life of the connecting plate and improve its durability and stability.
[0029] To sum up, by setting a lower extension on the back of the connecting plate and setting a supporting block thereon to support the position of the deformation part, the overall stability of the connecting plate can be further enhanced, the supporting effect of the deformation part can be improved, the impact on the switch operation can be reduced, the manufacturing and assembly process can be simplified, and the durability of the connecting plate can be increased.
[0030] Furthermore, the back side of the connecting plate is provided with the lower extension along the edge of the clamping opening, the upper end of the lower extension is connected to the connecting plate, and the lower end of the lower extension is provided with the supporting block.
[0031] Providing more uniform support: The lower edge is arranged along the edge of the clamping opening, so that the connecting plate can obtain more uniform support at the clamping opening. This helps to ensure the stability of the connecting plate at the clamping opening and reduce the possibility of deformation and loosening.
[0032] Enhance the structural stability of the connecting plate: The setting of the lower extension increases the support area of the connecting plate at the clamping opening, and improves the overall structural stability of the connecting plate. This helps to ensure that the connecting plate can firmly clamp the switch module when the connecting plate fixes the switch module to avoid looseness or misalignment.
[0033] Optimize the bearing capacity of the connecting plate: The setting of the lower extension enables the connecting plate to better withstand the pressure and tension applied by the switch module. At the same time, the support block at the lower end provides additional support, further enhancing the bearing capacity of the connecting plate and reducing the risk of deformation or damage caused by external pressure.
[0034] Improve assembly accuracy and efficiency: The lower edge is set along the edge of the clamping port, which provides better positioning and alignment for the connecting plate, helping to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the assembly process. This makes the assembly of the connecting plate with other components easier and faster, reducing assembly errors and the need for adjustments.
[0035] Increase the durability of the connecting plate: The design of the lower extension edge of the upper connecting plate and the support block at the lower end helps to increase the durability of the connecting plate. This structural design can effectively reduce the wear and damage of the connecting plate during long-term use and extend the service life of the connecting plate.
[0036] In summary, by setting a lower extension along the edge of the clamping opening on the back of the connecting plate, connecting the connecting plate at the upper end and setting a supporting block at the lower end, a more uniform supporting force can be provided, the structural stability and bearing capacity of the connecting plate can be enhanced, the assembly accuracy and efficiency can be optimized, and the durability of the connecting plate can be increased.
[0037] Furthermore, the notch includes a locking groove and a disengagement groove, the locking groove and the disengagement groove are connected, the width of the locking groove is smaller than the width of the head of the bolt, and the width of the disengagement groove is larger than the diameter of the head of the bolt.
[0038] Flexible position adjustment: The design of the clamping slot and the release slot allows the connection plate to be flexibly adjusted relative to the bolt. Since the width of the clamping slot is smaller than the width of the bolt head, the connection plate can be fine-tuned along the bolt axis within a certain range. This flexibility allows installers to more easily adjust the position according to actual conditions and ensure the correct installation position of the connection plate.
[0039] Simplify the installation process: Flexible adjustment functions can reduce the complexity of manual adjustments when installing the connecting plate. Installers can easily adjust the position of the connecting plate as needed to ensure its alignment and fixation with other components. This can simplify the installation process and reduce the possibility of installation errors or position deviations.
[0040] Reduce adjustment time and cost: Since precise position adjustment can be performed through the snap-in slot and the release slot, the additional adjustment time and cost required due to inaccurate position can be reduced. Installers do not need additional tools or equipment to adjust the position of the connecting plate, thus saving time and labor costs during the adjustment process.
[0041] Enhanced applicability of the connecting plate: The position adjustment function of the connecting plate enhances its applicability, allowing the connecting plate to adapt to installation environments of different sizes or shapes. Whether it is adjusted in the vertical or horizontal direction, the connecting plate can be flexibly adjusted through the notch design to meet the installation requirements in different scenarios.
[0042] Improve installation accuracy: The adjustable notch design helps improve the installation accuracy of the connecting plate. Installers can precisely adjust the position of the connecting plate according to actual conditions, ensuring that it is perfectly aligned with other components, reducing possible errors and deviations during installation.
[0043] In summary, the design of the slot including the locking slot and the disengagement slot makes the position adjustment of the connecting plate more convenient and flexible, simplifies the installation process, reduces the adjustment time and cost, and enhances the applicability and installation accuracy of the connecting plate.

[0047] The switch module is inserted into the bottom box until the connecting plate is close to the bottom box and the notch is aligned with the bolt seat;
[0048] The bolt passes through the notch and is locked in the bolt seat, and the deformed portion deforms toward the bottom box until the deformed portion abuts against the supporting block;
[0049] The connecting plate is inserted into the inner cavity of the face frame and clamped to the face frame, so that the face frame is fixed on the wall to cover the connecting plate;
[0050] The button passes through the opening of the face frame and is connected to the switch module, and the button drives the switch module to operate.
[0051] Stable fixing structure: The design of bolts passing through the slots and locking in the bolt seats, as well as the close combination of the bottom box and the connecting plate, ensures the firm fixation between the switch module and the connecting plate. This structure can effectively prevent the switch module from loosening or shifting during use, and improve the stability and reliability of the switch.

[0079] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0080] Example, combined with Figures 1 to 18 As shown, an improved structure of a connecting plate comprises a connecting plate 1, wherein the connecting plate 1 is provided with a clamping opening 3 for clamping a switch module 2;
[0081] The connecting plate 1 located outside the clamping opening 3 is provided with break openings 4 at intervals;
[0082] The connecting plate 1 located beside the fracture opening 4 and away from the clamping opening 3 forms a deformation portion 5 , and the deformation portion 5 is provided with a notch 6 .
[0083] Furthermore, a supporting block 7 for supporting the deformable portion 5 is provided on the back side of the connecting plate 1 below the deformable portion 5 .
[0084] Furthermore, a lower extension 8 is provided on the back side of the connecting plate 1 , and the supporting block 7 is provided at a position of the lower extension 8 corresponding to the deformation portion 5 .
[0085] Furthermore, the lower extension 8 is provided on the back side of the connecting plate 1 along the edge of the clamping opening 3 , the upper end of the lower extension 8 is connected to the connecting plate 1 , and the supporting block 7 is provided at the lower end of the lower extension 8 .
[0086] Furthermore, the notch 6 includes a locking groove 61 and a disengagement groove 62, the locking groove 61 and the disengagement groove 62 are connected, the width of the locking groove 61 is smaller than the width of the head of the bolt, and the width of the disengagement groove 62 is larger than the diameter of the head of the bolt.
[0087] A switch seat, comprising a bolt 9, a button 10, a face frame 11, a switch module 2 and a bottom box 12, wherein the switch module 2 is inserted and clamped in a port 3 so that the switch module 2 and the connecting plate 1 are clamped;
[0088] The bottom box 12 is provided with a corresponding bolt seat 121 at a position corresponding to the notch 6, and the bottom box 12 is pre-buried in the wall 13;
[0089] The switch module 2 is inserted into the bottom box 12 until the connecting plate 1 is close to the bottom box 12 and the notch 6 is aligned with the bolt seat 121;
