[0002] As a basic component for electrical connection and control, socket switches are widely used in household, commercial and industrial environments for power distribution, equipment connection and circuit control. In traditional electrical components, the panel cannot be coaxial with the board after contacting the board, and the gaps formed between the outer side of the panel and the inner side of the hole opened in the board are inconsistent, affecting the appearance. Usually, processes such as plastering and puttying are required to repair the gaps to meet the appearance requirements. However, with long-term use, the gap positions are prone to cracking or hollowing and falling off. Or even if the outer diameter of the electrical component is adapted to the inner diameter of the board, due to possible deviations in the inner diameter holes of the board, the electrical component may still be non-coaxial during installation. In addition, the traditional socket switches are mostly installed protruding from the wall surface, which will occupy a certain amount of wall space. For a room with limited space, it will appear crowded and may seem obtrusive, affecting the overall appearance. Summary of the Utility Model

[0025] The following describes the specific structure of a positioning structure and an electrical component including this structure:

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 For the positioning structure of this embodiment, the positioning structure includes a positioning body 1. The positioning body 1 is set as a circular structure in this embodiment, and in other embodiments, it can also be a kind of other polygon. The positioning body 1 is provided with a toothed opening 101 along the periphery, and the toothed opening 101 is fitted to the wall slot. The toothed opening 101 includes a first recess 1011 and a second recess 1012. The second recess 1012 is arranged in a circular closed and uniform manner along the periphery of the positioning body 1. The first recess 1011 is distributed in a circular and uniform manner along the periphery of the positioning body 1 and intersects with the second recess 1012. Preferably, in this embodiment, the second recess 1012 is arranged at the middle position of the annular surface of the positioning body 1, and the first recess 1011 is arranged on the annular surface of the positioning body 1 and perpendicular to the second recess 1012. The same gap is provided between adjacent first recesses 1011. Through the design of the toothed opening 101, the friction with the slot opened on the board is increased, making its positioning more reliable. A first positioning hole 102 is also opened on the surface of the positioning body 1.

[0028] An electrical component, the electrical component includes the above-mentioned positioning structure. The electrical component further includes a socket 2 and a panel 3. The positioning structure, the socket 2 and the panel 3 are arranged in sequence. A first socket 301 is arranged on the surface of the panel 3, and a clamping portion 302 is arranged on the side close to the socket 2. The clamping portion 302 can be clamped and connected to the socket 2.

[0029] Furthermore, first protrusions 103 are evenly arranged on the surface of the positioning body 1 along the edge of the first positioning hole 102. Preferably, four first protrusions 103 are arranged in this embodiment. The socket 2 includes a positioning shell 201, and the positioning shell 201 is fitted to the first protrusions 103. By providing the first positioning hole 102 opened on the positioning body 1, it can be ensured that the electrical component is coaxial with the board after the socket 2 is installed on the positioning structure when the electrical component contacts the board, thereby ensuring the consistency of the gap between the electrical component and the board opening, and improving the aesthetics.

[0030] Further, the socket 2 further includes a plug board 202, and the plug board 202 is connected to the positioning shell 201. A second positioning hole 104 is further provided on the surface of the positioning body 1, and a third positioning hole 2021 that cooperates with the second positioning hole 104 is formed on the surface of the plug board 202. Preferably, in this embodiment, four second positioning holes 104 and four third positioning holes 2021 are provided to improve the fixing reliability. A fourth positioning hole 2022 that can cooperate with the clamping portion 302 is further provided on the surface of the plug board 202, so that the panel 3 can be fixed to the plug board 202. Preferably, in this embodiment, a part of the width of the fourth positioning hole 2022 is greater than that of the other part. The panel 3 can be rotated so that the clamping portion 302 is clamped. The panel 3 and the socket 2 can be separated only by rotating the panel 3 in the reverse direction.

[0031] Further, a second socket 2023 is further provided on the surface of the plug board 202. When the panel 3 is clamped to the plug board 202, the first socket 301 is aligned with the second socket 2023.

[0032] Further, the edge of the first socket 301 protrudes from the surface of the panel 3 toward the side away from the socket 2 to form a second protruding portion 3011. In this embodiment, the surface of the panel 3 on the side away from the socket 2 is a smooth surface. When the panel 3 is a stone-like decorative material, without the second protruding portion 3011, when the plug is pulled out, the metal connector contacts the surface of the panel 3, which may cause the stone to crack and generate cracks, affecting the aesthetics. By providing the second protruding portion 3011, this hidden danger can be avoided and the service life can be improved.

[0033] Embodiment 2:

[0034] This Embodiment 2 is only different from Embodiment 1 in the structure of the panel 3, and the rest of the structures are the same. Please continue to refer to Figure 4 , further, a third recess 303 is provided on the side of the panel 3 away from the socket 2. The edge of the first socket 301 protrudes from the recessed surface of the third recess 303 toward the side away from the socket 2 to form a third protruding portion 3012. A rib 304 is further provided on the recessed end surface of the third recess 303.

[0035] Further, the rib 304 includes a fourth protruding portion 3041, a fifth protruding portion 3042, and a sixth protruding portion 3043. The fourth protruding portion 3041 is connected to the recessed port and is circumferentially and uniformly arranged. The fifth protruding portion 3042 and the sixth protruding portion 3043 are cross-arranged and the arrangement range covers the third recessed portion 303. By adding the rib 304 on the surface and the edge of the third recessed portion 303, paint cracks, peeling, and cracking are prevented, and the paint adheres better to the panel 3, effectively solving the problem that the part of the paint exceeding the panel 3 is prone to cracking in the paint scenario.
