[0034] Switches and sockets are essential devices in modern homes and businesses, used to control power and provide electrical connections. With increasing consumer demand for high-end, aesthetically pleasing, and versatile products, a small number of new switches and sockets that are virtually flush with the wall have appeared on the market. While these are aesthetically pleasing and space-saving, they remain difficult to widely adopt due to their complex technology, high material requirements, high price, and installation difficulties.
[0035] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a switch socket, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system comprises a base box 10, a mounting frame 20, a wiring socket 30, and a panel frame 40. The base box 10 is embedded in an opening in the wall and has a housing 11 for accommodating the wiring socket 30 and related electrical components. A first opening is defined on one side of the base box 10 facing the opening, communicating with the housing 11 and allowing the wiring socket 30 to pass through.
[0036] The mounting frame 20 is adapted to be tightly mounted at the hole. The mounting frame 20 has a first groove 21 recessed in the hole. The design of the first groove 21 not only provides an installation space for the terminal block 30, but also effectively reduces the external protruding part of the switch socket, thereby improving the overall aesthetics and space utilization.
[0037] As the front end of the switch socket, the panel frame 40 must not only coordinate with other components but also support the panel 50, providing a user-friendly interface. The panel frame 40 features a second groove 41 recessed within the opening. This groove allows the panel frame 40 to more closely conform to the overall wall structure, further reducing the protrusion of the switch socket, thereby enhancing the overall aesthetics of the switch socket. Furthermore, the second groove 41 provides additional support for the panel 50, ensuring stability during long-term use and preventing it from loosening or falling off.
[0038] A second opening corresponding to the first opening is provided on the bottom wall of the first groove 21, and a third opening corresponding to the second opening is provided on the bottom wall of the second groove 41. Through this design, the terminal block 30 can smoothly pass through the panel frame 40, the mounting frame 20 and the bottom box 10 to achieve precise positioning and installation. After the terminal block 30 passes through the third opening, the second opening and the first opening in sequence, it is finally accommodated in the accommodating cavity 11 of the bottom box 10. This coherent structural design ensures the stability and accuracy of the electrical connection, reduces the error rate during the installation process, and improves the overall reliability of the switch socket. Among them, the bottom wall and the side wall of the second groove 41 can be integrally formed, or they can be connected by means of snap connection or screw connection. The bottom wall of the second groove 41 should be made of metal to improve the connection reliability, while the side wall of the second groove 41 can be made of plastic to play a decorative role.
[0039] In addition, an annular flange 22 is provided around the perimeter of the first groove 21. This flange 22 is aligned with the wall around the opening, creating a seamless visual connection with the wall and enhancing the overall aesthetics of the switch socket. This design not only improves the practicality of the switch socket but also ensures its flatness after installation, avoiding the visual disharmony and space waste associated with traditional protruding designs.
[0040] In summary, this multi-layered frame design significantly enhances the stability, aesthetics, and durability of the switch and socket. The tight integration of the panel frame 40, mounting frame 20, and base box 10, along with their integration within the wall opening, ensures the smoothness and firmness of the entire switch and socket after installation.
[0041] Optionally, the outer wall of the first groove 21 is arranged to fit snugly against the inner wall of the orifice. This tight fit not only ensures the stability of the mounting frame 20 but also ensures that the entire switch socket is integrated with the wall after installation, reducing the risk of the device loosening or falling off. Furthermore, the outer wall of the first groove 21, by fitting snugly against the inner wall of the orifice, can effectively disperse external forces, preventing structural damage caused by localized excessive force. Furthermore, this design can absorb minor deformation or contraction of the wall to a certain extent, ensuring that the switch socket remains stable and safe during long-term use.
[0042] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the first groove 21 is in direct contact with the bottom box 10. This structural arrangement not only helps transfer the weight of the terminal block 30 and the forces during operation to the bottom box 10, but also further transmits them to the wall structure through the bottom box 10, thereby greatly improving the overall stability of the device. This contact method ensures that the device forms a solid whole after installation, greatly improving the service life and safety performance of the switch socket.
[0043] Overall, the above design significantly enhances the stability and safety of the switches and sockets. The tightly fitting structure ensures the devices remain secure in a variety of environments, reducing the possibility of loosening or damage from long-term use. This precise structural design not only ensures the devices' daily use but also enhances their competitiveness and user acceptance in the high-end market.
[0044] Optionally, the outer wall of the second groove 41 fits snugly against the inner wall of the first groove 21. This tight fit not only achieves a seamless structural connection between the components but also provides greater stability and reliability during installation. This tight fit creates a stable, integrated structure between the panel frame 40 and the mounting frame 20, preventing loosening or shifting during operation or long-term use. This design principle fully considers the mechanical relationships between the various components, ensuring their coordinated operation and maintaining the long-term stability of the entire switch socket.
[0045] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the second groove 41 contacts the mounting frame 20. Specifically, the bottom wall of the second groove 41 directly contacts the bottom wall of the mounting frame 20 on the side facing away from the bottom box 10. This contact design not only enhances the rigidity of the overall structure but also further ensures a tight connection between all components. This direct contact between the bottom walls allows the panel frame 40 to evenly distribute external forces across the mounting frame 20, reducing the risk of localized excessive force. This structural optimization significantly improves the durability of the switch socket, ensuring that it maintains its excellent performance and appearance even after prolonged use.
[0046] Overall, the close fit between the second groove 41 and the first groove 21 not only strengthens the overall structure of the device but also enhances its aesthetics. Due to the tight fit between the various components, the switch socket has a smoother appearance, creating a visually integrated effect with the wall and avoiding the sense of disharmony caused by traditional protruding designs. This design is particularly well-suited to modern, minimalist decor, providing users with a more aesthetically pleasing choice of electrical equipment. Furthermore, this design enhances the switch socket's dust and moisture resistance to a certain extent. Due to the close fit between the various components, dust and moisture are difficult to enter the internal structure, thereby extending the service life of the device.
[0047] Alternatively, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the switch socket further includes a panel 50 disposed on the panel frame 40. The panel 50 is mounted on the front end of the panel frame 40 and covers the notch of the second groove 41 to cover the side surface of the terminal block 30 facing away from the panel frame 40. This design is intended to provide users with a simple and beautiful operating interface while ensuring the safety and functionality of the switch socket during use.
[0048] It should be noted that when the switch socket is used as a switch, the installation of the faceplate 50 is essential. The faceplate 50 not only protects the terminal block 30 but also, with its flat appearance, avoids the visual incongruity caused by traditional switches protruding from the wall. This design is particularly suitable for smart switch systems, which often require a more compact and aesthetically pleasing appearance to match the overall design style of modern homes or commercial environments. Covered by the faceplate 50, the smart switch not only receives effective physical protection but also has a more elegant and integrated appearance.
[0049] When the switch socket is used as a socket, the design of the panel 50 requires greater flexibility. In this case, the panel 50 can be omitted according to specific needs to avoid blocking the socket's wiring holes. This design takes into account flexibility and convenience in actual use, ensuring that users are not restricted by the panel 50 when connecting various electrical devices, maintaining its comprehensive functionality and meeting diverse user needs.
[0050] To facilitate installation, the panel 50 can be connected to the terminal block 30 by snapping. Specifically, a snap-in protrusion can be provided on the terminal block 30, and a snap-in groove that cooperates with the snap-in protrusion can be provided on the panel 50. Alternatively, a snap-in protrusion can be provided on the panel 50, and a snap-in groove that cooperates with the snap-in protrusion can be provided on the terminal block 30. The height and shape of the snap-in protrusion need to be precisely calculated to ensure that it can fit tightly with the snap-in groove. Due to the coordination of the snap-in protrusion and the snap-in groove, when assembling the terminal block 30 and the panel 50, the installer only needs to align the snap-in device for snapping, and quick and accurate assembly can be achieved. This design reduces human errors during the installation process, allowing the entire device to maintain a high degree of consistency and stability after installation.
[0051] Overall, the design of panel 50 achieves a balanced balance of multiple functions. For smart switches, panel 50 provides a highly integrated, smooth operating interface, avoiding the awkwardness of traditional switches and enhancing the overall aesthetics of the interior. For sockets, omitting panel 50 ensures ease of use without compromising electrical device connectivity. This design strategy not only enhances the product's market adaptability but also meets the personalized needs of diverse users.
[0052] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the panel 50 facing away from the terminal block 30 is flush with the surface of the annular flange 22 facing away from the wall. This flush design of the panel 50 and the annular flange 22 ensures a smooth transition between the switch and the wall after installation. Through precise manufacturing processes and strict dimensional control, the surface of the panel 50 and the annular flange 22 are kept on the same level, eliminating the visual incongruity of traditional switches and sockets protruding from the wall. This design makes the switch and socket more visually integrated, making it particularly suitable for modern, minimalist interior decoration and providing a more elegant appearance.
[0053] Optionally, the distances between the panel 50 and the multiple sidewalls of the first groove 21 are equal, that is, the gaps between the panel 50 and the multiple sidewalls of the first groove 21 should be uniform. The uniformity of the gaps between the panel 50 and the multiple sidewalls of the first groove 21 is achieved through precise design and manufacturing processes. A uniform gap not only helps enhance the overall aesthetics of the device, but also provides dust and water resistance, further increasing the durability and service life of the product. This uniform gap design also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the panel 50, ensuring that when maintenance or replacement is required, the user can easily operate without damaging the device or the wall.
[0054] Overall, the flushness of the panel 50 with the annular flange 22 and the uniform clearance between the panel 50 and the multiple sidewalls of the first groove 21 allow the switch and socket to virtually blend into the wall after installation, significantly enhancing the overall feel of the interior space. Furthermore, this design reduces the likelihood of dust and dirt accumulating around the switch and socket, making daily cleaning easier and improving user satisfaction.
[0055] Optionally, the switch socket further includes a first connector, which is used to tightly connect the wiring seat 30, the panel frame 40, the mounting frame 20 and the bottom box 10 together to ensure the structural stability and firmness of the entire switch socket. Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the bottom box 10, serving as the foundation of the entire switch socket, has a first mounting hole 10a defined therein. A second mounting hole 41a is defined on the bottom wall of the second recess 41 of the panel frame 40, and a third mounting hole 30a is defined on the wiring socket 30. The third and second mounting holes 30a, 41a, are positioned to correspond to the first mounting hole 10a of the bottom box 10, allowing the first connector to pass smoothly through the three mounting holes, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the wiring socket 30, the panel frame 40, and the bottom box 10.
[0056] At this point, the mounting frame 20 is clamped between the panel frame 40 and the base box 10. This clamping design ensures that the mounting frame 20 is secured between the panel frame 40 and the base box 10, preventing it from loosening and preventing it from affecting the tight connection between the panel frame 40 and the base box 10. This design effectively prevents the mounting frame 20 from shifting or loosening during use, ensuring the long-term stability of the switch socket. This design simplifies the installation process; the user simply inserts the first connector through the third mounting hole 30a, the second mounting hole 41a, and the first mounting hole 10a and secures it. This simple installation method not only reduces installation costs but also reduces the risk of failure due to improper installation.
[0057] It should be noted that the design of the first connector requires consideration of multiple factors, including material selection, connection strength, and ease of installation. Typically, the first connector utilizes screws made of high-strength metal or durable plastic to ensure they can withstand significant mechanical loads and remain stable over long-term use. The length and diameter of the connector are precisely calculated to ensure they can effectively pass through the second mounting hole 41a and the first mounting hole 10a while providing sufficient clamping force.
[0058] In summary, the introduction of the first connector and the provision of mounting holes in both the base box 10 and the panel frame 40 achieve a highly integrated and secure connection between the switch and socket. The mounting frame 20 is precisely clamped between the panel frame 40 and the base box 10, enhancing the structural stability of the switch and socket while also improving installation convenience and reliability.
[0059] Alternatively, as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a positioning post 21a is provided on the bottom wall of the first groove 21, and a positioning hole 41b that cooperates with the positioning post 21a is provided on the bottom wall of the second groove 41. The positioning post 21a serves as a protruding physical guide structure, which can provide clear directionality and installation reference, while the positioning hole 41b serves as a corresponding recessed matching part, accurately fitting with the positioning post 21a. This design ensures that the panel frame 40 and the mounting frame 20 can be accurately aligned longitudinally and transversely during installation, preventing the components from being misaligned, tilted or offset during the installation process. In addition, the cooperation between the positioning post 21a and the positioning hole 41b also simplifies the assembly process, allowing the installer to dock the panel frame 40 with the mounting frame 20 more quickly and accurately. This design does not require additional measurement or adjustment, reduces the error rate in assembly, and improves installation efficiency.
[0060] Alternatively, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a limiting protrusion 31 is provided on the wiring base 30, and a limiting groove 42 is provided on the bottom wall of the second groove 41 to cooperate with the limiting protrusion 31, or a limiting protrusion 31 is provided on the bottom wall of the second groove 41, and a limiting groove 42 is provided on the wiring base 30 to cooperate with the limiting protrusion 31. Whether the limiting protrusion 31 is provided on the wiring base 30 and the limiting groove 42 cooperating therewith is provided on the bottom wall of the second groove 41, or the limiting protrusion 31 is provided on the bottom wall of the second groove 41 and a corresponding limiting groove 42 is provided on the wiring base 30, this design effectively improves the assembly accuracy between components and the overall stability of the switch socket.
[0061] The design of the retaining protrusion 31 and the retaining groove 42 provides a simple and effective mechanical positioning method. The retaining protrusion 31 and the retaining groove 42 engage and precisely align the terminal block 30 and the panel frame 40 during installation, preventing misalignment or offset between the components. This design is particularly important because, in a switch and socket system, the precise positioning of the terminal block 30 is directly related to the functionality and safety of the entire device. If the terminal block 30 shifts during installation, it may not only affect the stability of the electrical connection but also cause an uneven surface on the entire device, affecting its aesthetics.
[0062] This design not only improves installation accuracy but also greatly simplifies the installation process. Thanks to the coordinated positioning of the stopper protrusions 31 and the stopper grooves 42, installers simply align the stoppers and insert the connectors 30 and panel frame 40 for quick and accurate assembly. This design reduces human error during installation, ensuring a high degree of consistency and stability throughout the entire assembly.
[0063] Overall, the design of the retaining protrusion 31 and retaining groove 42, through ingenious technical implementation and precise mechanical coordination, provides reliable guarantees for the precise installation and stable operation of the switch socket. Whether the retaining protrusion 31 is located on the terminal block 30 or on the bottom wall of the second groove 41, this design successfully solves the problems of component misalignment and assembly complexity, ensuring the safety, functionality, and aesthetics of the device during use.
[0064] Alternatively, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple bottom boxes 10 and terminal blocks 30, and the two correspond one to one. The multiple bottom boxes 10 are arranged in an array in the orifice. The array arrangement of multiple bottom boxes 10 provides a flexible installation solution, allowing the entire system to accommodate multiple circuits at the same time in a limited space. This design is more suitable for scenarios that require multi-functional integration, such as smart homes, commercial office environments, etc. Each bottom box 10 corresponds to an independent terminal block 30, thereby ensuring the independence and reliability of each circuit. Through this one-to-one correspondence design, mutual interference between different circuits is avoided, and the safety and stability of the system are improved.
[0065] Specifically, the arrangement of the multiple base boxes 10 and the one-to-one connection between the multiple wiring sockets 30 are achieved through sophisticated structural design. The bottom wall of the first recess 21 is provided with multiple second openings, the positions and sizes of these openings precisely calculated to ensure that each wiring socket 30 can accurately pass through the corresponding second and first openings and ultimately be accommodated within the corresponding base box 10. To ensure the stability and installation accuracy of each component, the wiring sockets 30 must tightly fit within the accommodating cavity 11 of the base box 10 when passing through the openings. This tight structural design prevents loosening or misalignment of the components during installation.
[0066] Furthermore, the design of multiple terminal blocks 30 sequentially passing through the corresponding second and first openings makes the entire system installation process simpler and more efficient. Installers simply insert each terminal block 30 into its corresponding opening according to the pre-set arrangement order to complete the assembly of the entire system. This simplified installation process not only reduces installation time but also reduces the probability of errors, thereby improving overall installation quality.
[0067] Overall, the multi-component design significantly enhances the functionality and scalability of the system. First, the array arrangement of multiple base boxes 10 allows the system to manage multiple circuits simultaneously without increasing the need for additional installation space. This integrated design provides an efficient and compact solution for complex electrical systems. Secondly, the precise alignment of the terminal block 30 and the base box 10 ensures the independence of each circuit, avoids mutual interference between circuits, and improves the safety and stability of the system. Finally, through the simplified installation process, the operability of the switches and sockets in actual applications is greatly enhanced, allowing users to perform maintenance and expansion more conveniently.
[0068] The specific installation process of switches and sockets is as follows:
[0069] First, embed the base box 10 into the wall. This step requires the base box 10 to be precisely placed in the hole in the wall. The size and shape of the base box 10 need to completely match the hole to ensure that it is stably embedded in the wall without moving. The base box 10 is usually designed with fixed slots or screw holes to facilitate its stable fixation in the wall. Through this design, the base box 10 can be firmly fixed in the wall, providing a stable foundation for subsequent installation steps. At the same time, this process requires ensuring that the installation depth of the base box 10 is appropriate to facilitate the installation and connection of subsequent components.
[0070] Next, install the mounting frame 20 and the panel frame 40 in sequence. The mounting frame 20 is mated with the base box 10, aligned with the opening in the wall, ensuring that the mounting frame 20 is securely fixed to the wall. At this point, the second opening of the mounting frame 20 is also aligned with the first opening of the base box 10. The mounting frame 20 is typically secured using screws or snaps, which ensures the stability of the mounting frame 20. The panel frame 40 is then mounted on the mounting frame 20, ensuring its precise positioning. When installing the panel frame 40, pay attention to aligning the first groove 21 on the mounting frame 20 to ensure the flatness and stability of the entire device.
[0071] Then, connect the neutral, live, and ground wires to the corresponding terminals on terminal block 30. The neutral wire provides a current loop, the live wire is responsible for current input, and the ground wire is used for safety protection of electrical equipment. When connecting, ensure that each wire is in good contact and is securely fastened to the corresponding terminal to avoid electrical failures caused by poor contact. All wire connections must comply with relevant electrical safety standards to ensure system reliability and safety.
[0072] Finally, install the wired terminal block 30 into the corresponding position of the panel frame 40 and cover it with the panel 50 to complete the installation. The terminal block 30 must be properly aligned with the terminal blocks of the base box 10 to achieve a stable electrical connection. When installing the panel 50, it should be placed over the terminal block 30, ensuring that it covers the terminal block 30 and is flush with the wall. Covering the panel 50 not only protects the internal electrical components but also enhances the overall aesthetics of the installation.
