Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of low-voltage electrical appliances, in particular to a time control switch. Background Art

[0002] In the fields of automation and power control, a time control switch, as a device that can automatically connect or disconnect a circuit according to a preset time program, has a wide range of applications. With the development of technology, the requirements for the performance, stability, and ease of use of time control switches are also constantly increasing. Traditional time control switches usually adopt a single circuit board design, integrating functions such as power supply, control, and backup power supply on the same circuit board. Such a design is simple, but there are many inconveniences in maintenance and upgrading. In addition, since all functions are concentrated on one circuit board, once a failure occurs, the entire time control switch may not work properly, reducing the reliability of the system.

The power supply circuit board is located at the bottom, which can better utilize the heat dissipation space at the bottom. The backup power supply adapter board and the time control switch circuit board are arranged in sequence on the top, which is conducive to the natural convection and dissipation of heat, improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency, and reduces the impact of overheating problems on the circuit performance.

[0007] This utility model is further configured such that a rotary cover is provided on the top side of the housing. One end of the rotary cover is provided with a pivoting portion, and the housing is provided with two vertically upward protruding pivoting arms. The pivoting portion is pivotally installed inside the two pivoting arms to form a movable connection. The design of the rotary cover allows users to open or close the top of the time control switch through a simple rotation action without using additional tools or complex operations, greatly improving the convenience of use.

[0008] This utility model is further configured such that the housing includes a base and a cover. The base is provided with a clamping block, and the cover is provided with a clamping groove corresponding to the clamping block provided on the base to form a clamping fit.
