Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrical components, in particular to a thin switch socket. Background Technique

[0002] The existing switch panel of the switch socket has a relatively thick protruding thickness from the surface frame. The switch panel rotates on the surface frame, resulting in a relatively thick overall thickness of the switch socket and an unattractive appearance. For example, the switch socket disclosed in Chinese Patent No. ZL202311304772.X includes a bipolar switch, a live wire copper bar, a neutral wire copper bar, wire terminals, a neutral wire terminal, a housing, and a panel. The on-off between the neutral wire copper bar and the neutral wire terminal and the on-off between the live wire copper bar and the live wire terminal are controlled by the same bipolar switch. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a thin switch socket. Reinforcing ribs are arranged on the inner side of the switch panel to increase the mechanical strength of the switch panel, and the surface frame is provided with clearance positions corresponding to the reinforcing ribs of the switch panel, so that the switch panel can be partially embedded in the surface frame to reduce the overall thickness of the switch panel assembly, and further reduce the thickness of the entire switch socket, enabling the switch socket to be designed as a thin switch socket.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is realized as follows:

[0005] A thin switch socket includes a switch panel and a surface frame assembled into a switch panel assembly. Reinforcing ribs are arranged on the inner side of the switch panel, and the surface frame is provided with clearance positions. When the switch panel and the surface frame are assembled, the reinforcing ribs are limited in the clearance positions, so that part of the switch panel is located in the surface frame to reduce the overall thickness of the switch panel assembly.

[0006] Reinforcing ribs are arranged on the inner side of the switch panel to increase the mechanical strength of the switch panel, and the surface frame is provided with clearance positions corresponding to the reinforcing ribs of the switch panel, so that the switch panel can be partially embedded in the surface frame to reduce the overall thickness of the switch panel assembly, and further reduce the thickness of the entire switch socket, enabling the switch socket to be designed as a thin switch socket, reducing the inventory pressure of products and saving inventory space.

[0007] The thin switch socket further includes a bottom shell assembled with the surface frame. Positioning ribs are arranged on the surface frame, and positioning grooves are arranged on the bottom shell. When the surface frame and the bottom shell are assembled, the positioning ribs are positioned in the positioning grooves to prevent the bottom shell from moving left and right after being assembled with the surface frame.

[0008] The thin switch socket further includes a power connection function component. A snap connection part is arranged between the surface frame and the power connection function component. The surface frame and the power connection function component are snap-connected through the snap connection part to fixedly connect the surface frame and the power connection function component, ensure the normal on-off function of the switch socket, prevent the power connection function component from moving and shifting after being assembled, and avoid the failure of the on-off function of the switch socket.

[0009] The power connection functional component includes a cover plate. The snap - fit connection part includes a snap provided on the front frame and a snap hole provided on the cover plate. The snap and the snap hole are snap - fit connected to fixedly connect the front frame and the cover plate of the power connection functional component, preventing the power connection functional component from moving or shifting after assembly and avoiding the failure of the on - off function of the switch socket.

[0010] The power connection functional component further includes a socket base assembled with the cover plate, a terminal block, a conductive copper sheet, a moving contact piece and a static contact piece. The terminal block, the conductive copper sheet, the moving contact piece and the static contact piece are fixedly installed between the cover plate and the socket base;

[0011] The power connection functional component further includes a rocker which is rotatably arranged on the cover plate. The switch panel is rotatably connected to the front frame, and the switch panel is connected to the rocker. When the switch panel rotates, it drives the rocker to drive the moving contact piece to approach or move away from the static contact piece.

[0012] When the moving contact piece contacts the static contact piece, the switch socket is in the powered - on state when connected to the power supply. When the moving contact piece is separated from the static contact piece, the switch socket is in the powered - off state when connected to the power supply.

[0013] The cover plate is provided with a shaft hole, and the rocker is provided with a connecting shaft. The connecting shaft is inserted into the shaft hole to rotatably connect the rocker and the cover plate.

[0014] The switch panel is provided with a rotating snap - fit groove, and the front frame is provided with a rotating limit shaft. The rotating snap - fit groove is locked on the rotating limit shaft to rotatably connect the switch panel and the front frame. When the switch panel rotates, the rotating snap - fit groove is limited to rotate on the rotating limit shaft, and the rotating limit shaft forms the rotation fulcrum of the switch panel; The reinforcing rib rotates with the switch panel and is then limited to move within the clearance space.

[0015] The switch panel is provided with a plug - in block, and the rocker is provided with a plug - in hole. The plug - in block is inserted into the plug - in hole to enable the switch panel to rotate and drive the rocker to move.

[0016] One end of the rocker extends upward along the top of the thin - type switch socket, and the other end of the rocker extends downward along the bottom of the thin - type switch socket;

[0017] By increasing the lever arm of the rocker, the movement range of the rocker when it rotates with the switch panel is increased. It can be understood that whenever the switch socket is designed to be thin - type, the size in the longitudinal direction of the switch socket needs to be increased. Therefore, the two ends of the rocker need to be lengthened to increase the movement range of its ends.

[0018] The rocker includes a transverse part which is limited and inserted between the cover plate and the socket base, a first extension part which extends upward along the top of the thin - type switch socket, and a second extension part which extends downward along the bottom of the thin - type switch socket; The distance from one end of the first extension part to the rotation fulcrum of the rocker is L2, the distance from the second extension part to the rotation fulcrum of the rocker is L3; The distance from one end of the transverse part to the rotation fulcrum of the rocker is L1;

[0019] L1 = (1.3 - 1.5)L2, L1 = (1.3 - 1.5)L3.

[0020] The thin - type switch socket is a one - key switch socket or a switch socket with two or more keys;

[0021] The reinforcing ribs and the clearance positions are respectively arranged correspondingly; the reinforcing ribs are arranged horizontally, vertically or obliquely on the inner side of the switch panel; the clearance positions are arranged horizontally, vertically or obliquely on the face frame.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0023] Reinforcing ribs are provided on the inner side of the switch panel to increase the mechanical strength of the switch panel, and the face frame is provided with a clearance corresponding to the reinforcing ribs of the switch panel, so that part of the switch panel can be embedded into the face frame, reducing the overall thickness of the switch panel assembly, further reducing the thickness of the entire switch socket, enabling the switch socket to be designed as a thin - type switch socket, reducing the inventory pressure of the product and saving the inventory space.
