Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of switches, in particular to an induction switch. Background Art

[0002] Cabinet sensor switches come in a variety of types, including touch sensors, hand-sweep sensors, motion sensors, and centralized and decentralized sensor switches. Consumers can choose the appropriate sensor switch based on the cabinet's style and size, as well as their specific needs. With the continuous advancement of technology, more new and intelligent cabinet sensor switch products are likely to appear on the market in the future to meet consumers' growing personalized needs.

[0003] However, existing sensor switches have some shortcomings in their installation structure. Currently, the sensor switch and the mounting structure are usually fixed together, which not only makes the disassembly process inconvenient, but also affects the overall appearance of the cabinet due to the exposed mounting screw structure. When the sensor switch needs to be replaced or debugged, the disassembly process is particularly cumbersome. In addition, given the overall cylindrical appearance, the existing fixing structure cannot accurately position the installation angle of the sensor switch. After installation, the front end of the sensor switch is often misaligned, affecting its appearance and may also have a certain impact on the performance of the sensor switch. Therefore, the design and installation of the sensor switch needs further optimization and improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the invention of the utility model is to overcome the problem that the existing inductive switches are inconvenient to assemble and disassemble, and to provide an inductive switch.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] The induction switch includes a switch body and a mounting base. One side of the mounting base is provided with a mounting surface, and the other side is provided with a placement portion. The placement portion is provided with an assembly groove. The assembly groove runs horizontally through the front and rear ends of the placement portion and is adapted to the shape of the switch body. The assembly groove and the switch body are positioned by a positioning structure to limit the freedom of rotation of the switch body.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, a positioning structure is provided between the assembly slot and the switch body of the utility model. During installation, the mounting base is first assembled on the cabinet body, and then the switch body is inserted into the assembly slot from the front side of the mounting base. The positioning structure realizes guided positioning, so that it can be automatically positioned after being assembled on the mounting base to prevent its angle from being incorrect and affecting the appearance and use effect. When the sensor needs to be replaced or debugged, it is only necessary to take the switch body out of the assembly slot. Therefore, the disassembly and assembly process is simple and convenient.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting slot has a U-shaped cross-section, and the mounting surface is provided with a mounting hole that connects the mounting surface and the mounting slot. In this solution, a screw can be inserted through the mounting base on one side of the mounting slot into the mounting hole to secure the mounting base to the cabinet. The mounting hole and other structures are concealed within the mounting slot and are shielded by the switch body, thereby not affecting the product's appearance. The U-shaped cross-section of the placement portion facilitates removal of the sensor switch from the placement portion.

[0009] Furthermore, the positioning structure includes a first positioning portion and a second positioning portion. The first positioning portion is located behind the placement portion and protrudes into the inner side of the assembly slot. The second positioning portion is a symmetrical, concave structure located at the rear end of the switch body. When the switch body is assembled into the assembly slot, the first positioning portion and the second positioning portion abut against each other. In this solution, the positioning structure is located behind both and hidden inside the assembly slot, without affecting the appearance of the inductive switch. The positioning structure not only limits the freedom of rotation of the switch body but also limits the possibility of further rearward movement of the switch body after it is assembled. This enhances the stability of the switch body on the mounting base, ensuring that it will not loosen or shift due to external forces during use.

[0010] Furthermore, the switch body comprises a hollow, open-ended outer shell, and a rear baffle for sealing the open end of the outer shell. The rear baffle is provided with a connecting plane and a positioning arc. The connecting plane is located in the middle of the rear baffle, and the positioning arcs are provided on either side of the connecting plane and are recessed forward relative to the connecting plane to form a second positioning portion. In this solution, the arc design of the second positioning portion enhances the product's appearance and feel. Furthermore, the positioning arcs are provided on either side of the connecting plane, making the two sides of the switch body symmetrical, further improving its stability and appearance, and enhancing the user experience.

[0011] Furthermore, when the first positioning portion abuts against the second positioning portion, the connecting plane is flush with the rear end of the placement portion.

[0012] Furthermore, the front end of the switch body is ringed with an outer ridge, and the front end of the placement portion is provided with an arc-shaped positioning protrusion. A positioning step is formed between the inner side of the positioning protrusion and the outer periphery of the front end of the assembly groove. The outer ridge of the switch body abuts the positioning step. This solution can ensure a more stable connection between the switch body and the mounting base, and at the same time, it is easier for the user to remove the switch body by grasping the outer ridge.

[0013] Furthermore, the switch body includes a sensing mechanism, and a front stop wall is provided at the front end of the outer shell. The front stop wall radially protrudes from the side wall of the outer shell to form an outer convex edge.

[0014] Furthermore, the switch body is cylindrical in shape, and the mounting base is tapered from one side of the mounting surface to the other. This solution provides a cylindrical switch and a matching tapered mounting base, resulting in a uniform, smooth, and free-from structure. This prevents users from colliding with the sensor when opening the cabinet, causing pain or scratches.

[0015] Furthermore, a front stop wall is provided at the front end of the switch body, and the front stop wall radially protrudes from the side wall of the switch body to form an outer convex edge.

[0016] Furthermore, both ends of the U-shape protrude inwards to grip the switch body, thereby preventing the switch body from escaping from the U-shaped opening.

[0017] Furthermore, the front end surface of the switch body is an arc-shaped convex surface. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The specific implementation of the present utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by “left”, “right”, “inside”, “outside”, etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0031] See also Figure 1-7 As shown, the utility model discloses an induction switch 1, including a switch body 2 and a mounting base 3, wherein the mounting base 3 is provided with a mounting surface 31 on one side and a placement portion 34 on the other side, and the placement portion 34 is provided with an assembly groove 32, the assembly groove 32 horizontally passes through the front and rear ends of the placement portion 34, and is adapted to the shape of the switch body 2, and the assembly groove 32 and the switch body 2 are positioned by a positioning structure to limit the freedom of rotation of the switch body 2.

[0032] The mounting groove 32 has a U-shaped cross-section, and the mounting surface 31 is provided with a mounting hole 33 that connects the mounting surface 31 and the mounting groove 32. In this embodiment, a screw can be inserted through the mounting base 3 on one side of the mounting groove 32 into the mounting hole 33 to secure the mounting base 3 to the cabinet. The mounting hole 33 and other structures are concealed within the mounting groove 32 and are obscured by the switch body 2, thereby not affecting the product's appearance. The U-shaped cross-section of the placement portion 34 facilitates removal of the sensor switch 1 from the placement portion 34.

[0033] The ends of both sides of the U-shape protrude inwards to grip the switch body 2 , thereby preventing the switch body 2 from falling out of the U-shaped opening.

[0034] The positioning structure includes a first positioning portion 41 and a second positioning portion 42. The first positioning portion 41 is located behind the placement portion 34 and protrudes toward the inside of the assembly slot 32. The second positioning portion 42 is a concave structure symmetrically arranged at the rear end of the switch body 2. When the switch body 2 is assembled into the assembly slot 32, the first positioning portion 41 and the second positioning portion 42 will tightly abut each other. One advantage of this solution is that the positioning structure is cleverly positioned behind both and completely hidden inside the assembly slot 32, thus not affecting the appearance of the inductive switch 1. More importantly, this positioning structure not only effectively limits the freedom of rotation of the switch body 2, but also prevents the switch body 2 from continuing to move backward after being assembled. This significantly enhances the stability of the switch body 2 on the mounting base, ensuring that it will not loosen or shift due to external forces during use, providing users with a more stable and reliable user experience. The switch body 2 comprises a hollow, open-ended outer housing 21, and a rear baffle 23 for enclosing the open end of the outer housing 21. The rear baffle 23 is provided with a connecting plane 421 and a positioning arc 422. The connecting plane 421 is located in the middle of the rear baffle 23, while the positioning arc 422 is provided on either side of the connecting plane 421 and is concave forward relative to the connecting plane 421 to form the second positioning portion 42. This design not only enhances the product's aesthetic appearance but also enhances tactile comfort, thereby providing users with a better user experience.

[0036] The rear baffle 23 is provided with an air-avoiding hole 231 , and the wires of the sensing mechanism 26 are connected to external devices through the air-avoiding hole 231 .

[0037] The buckling structure includes buckle holes 241 provided on opposite sides of the outer shell 21 and buckles 242 provided on opposite sides of the rear baffle 23 . The buckles 242 are elastically buckled on the buckle holes 241 .

[0038] When the first positioning portion 41 abuts against the second positioning portion 42 , the connecting plane 421 is flush with the rear end of the placement portion 34 .

[0039] The front end of the switch body 2 is provided with an outer convex edge 25, and the front end of the placement portion 34 is provided with an arc-shaped positioning protrusion. A positioning step 35 is formed between the inner side of the positioning protrusion and the outer periphery of the front end of the assembly groove 32. The outer convex edge 25 of the switch body 2 abuts against the positioning step 35 to make the connection between the switch body 2 and the mounting seat 3 more stable. At the same time, it is convenient for the user to remove the switch body by grasping the outer convex edge 25.

[0040] The switch body 2 includes a sensing mechanism 26 . A front stop wall 22 is provided at the front end of the outer shell 21 . The front stop wall 22 radially protrudes from the side wall of the outer shell 21 to form the outer convex edge 25 .

[0041] The switch body 2 is cylindrical in shape, and the mounting base 3 tapers from one side of the mounting surface 31 to the other. This design ensures a uniform, rounded structure without sharp corners, effectively preventing the user from colliding with the sensor when opening the cabinet, which could cause pain or abrasions.

[0042] The switch body 2 includes a sensing mechanism 26 . A front stop wall 22 is provided at the front end of the outer shell 21 . The front stop wall 22 radially protrudes from the side wall of the outer shell 21 to form the outer convex edge 25 .

[0043] The front end surface of the switch body 2 is an arc-shaped convex surface.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, a positioning structure is provided between the assembly groove 32 and the switch body 2 of the utility model.
