[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0019] The following will further describe the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings in the specification.

[0020] The present utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0021] As shown in FIG Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, the utility model discloses a wall switch with a novel safety door structure, which includes a switch base 1 and a switch panel 2. A safety door 3 is arranged inside the switch base 1. An active sliding groove 4 is arranged on the safety door 3. A positioning shaft 5 is arranged on the switch base 1 corresponding to the active sliding groove 4. The positioning shaft 5 extends into the active sliding groove 4 and is movably connected with the safety door 3. The safety door 3 slides along the axial direction of the positioning shaft 5 and swings along the radial direction of the positioning shaft 5. Specifically, in this design, through the combination of the active sliding groove 4 and the positioning shaft 5, the safety door 3 is both stable and smooth during sliding, avoiding potential safety hazards caused by improper operation. Moreover, the safety door 3 can swing along the radial direction of the positioning shaft 5. Such a design makes the switch more flexible during use, capable of adapting to the hand operation habits of different users. Thus, when inserting the plug into the socket 12 at different angles, it can always contact the safety door 3 and drive the safety door 3 to move along the axial direction of the positioning shaft 5 without damaging the plug or the safety door.

[0022] Furthermore, the active sliding groove 4 is arranged in an arc structure. The positioning shaft 5 has an arc surface 6 that fits with the active sliding groove 4 of the safety door 3. The maximum inner diameter of the active sliding groove 4 is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the positioning shaft 5. A swing gap 13 is formed between the positioning shaft 5 and the active sliding groove 4. Specifically, in this embodiment, the arc-shaped active sliding groove 4 can cooperate with the arc surface 6 of the positioning shaft 5, so that the safety door 3 can swing smoothly on the positioning shaft 5. The design of the swing gap 13 ensures that the safety door 3 will not generate excessive friction with the positioning shaft 5 during swinging, thus ensuring the smoothness and comfort of the operation, and providing space for the safety door 3 to swing on the positioning shaft 5 to meet the requirements of inserting the plug at different angles.

[0023] Furthermore, the length of the positioning shaft 5 is greater than the length of the safety door 3. Specifically, in this design, since the length of the positioning shaft 5 is designed to be longer than that of the safety door 3, such a design not only increases the stability of the safety door 3 during the sliding process but also gives the safety door 3 a greater degree of freedom during swinging. The longer positioning shaft 5 can ensure that the safety door 3 maintains good contact with the positioning shaft 5 at any position, thus ensuring the reliability of the safety door 3 during the operation process.

[0024] Further, the safety door 3 swings on the positioning shaft 5 through the movable sliding groove 4, and the swing angle of the safety door 3 on the positioning shaft 5 is 0-10°. Specifically, in this embodiment, the setting of the swing angle takes into account the actual operating habits of users when inserting the plug. The swing angle of 0-10° is sufficient to cope with the changes in the insertion angles of most plugs, so as to ensure that the safety door 3 can be smoothly opened when the plug is inserted without jamming or blocking. In addition, the setting of this swing angle also takes into account the sealing performance of the safety door 3 in the closed state, ensuring that the switch can completely isolate the external environment when not in use, preventing dust, water vapor, etc. from entering, and ensuring the durability and safety of the switch. Moreover, the plug can be inserted at different angles of 0-10°, simulating the user's usage habits, and a more user-friendly switch is designed from the perspective of ergonomics.

[0025] Further, a spring positioning groove 7 is formed at one end of the safety door 3 away from the switch base 1. A return spring 8 is arranged in the spring positioning groove 7. Spring clamping ends 9 protrude from the opposite two side walls of the spring positioning groove 7. A spring positioning portion 10 is arranged on the switch panel 2. One end of the return spring 8 abuts against the spring positioning portion 10, and the spring clamping end 9 extends into the return spring to be connected with the return spring 8. Specifically, in this embodiment, the arrangement of the return spring 8 enables the safety door 3 to quickly return to its initial position, i.e., the closed state, after the external force is removed. When the plug is pulled out, the return spring 8, through the cooperation of the spring clamping end 9 and the spring positioning portion 10, pushes the safety door 3 to axially slide along the positioning shaft 5 until the safety door 3 is completely closed, thus effectively preventing the safety hazard caused by forgetting to close the safety door 3. At the same time, the design of the return spring 8 also ensures the sealing performance of the safety door 3 in the closed state, further improving the durability and safety of the switch. In addition, the spring clamping end 9 in the spring positioning groove 7 can cooperate with the spring positioning portion 10 on the switch panel 2 to fix the position of the return spring 8 in the spring positioning groove 7, thereby avoiding the loosening or falling off of the return spring 8 that may occur during long-term use and ensuring the stability and reliability of the switch.

[0026] Furthermore, the safety door 3 has a guiding inclined surface 11, which is provided at one end of the safety door 3 far away from the switch base 1. A jack 12 is provided on the switch panel 2, and the position of the jack 12 corresponds to that of the guiding inclined surface 11. Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of the guiding inclined surface 11 enables users to more easily find the position of the jack 12 when inserting the plug, thus improving the convenience of use. When the user brings the plug close to the guiding inclined surface 11, the plug can smoothly slide into the jack 12 along the guiding inclined surface 11, reducing the risk of misinsertion or damage to the plug caused by improper operation. The inclined direction of the guiding inclined surface 11 is inclined from the center of the end face on the side where the safety door 3 is close to the switch panel 2 towards the upper part of the switch base 1.

[0027] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present utility model. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but rather to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
