[0031] See also Figures 4 to 7 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The three-dimensional views of the decorative panel 21 at different angles are shown. Figure 6 The illustrated diagram is a perspective view of the socket 22. Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the decorative panel 21 being assembled on the socket 22 .
[0032] The decorative panel 21 of this embodiment is assembled on a socket 22, which includes a plurality of main body slots. The socket 22 includes a plurality of main body slots 22S. These main body slots 22S are used to provide an interface for power connection, allowing external electrical equipment to obtain power supply by inserting a plug into the main body slots 22S.
[0033] The decorative panel 21 of this embodiment includes multiple slot holes 21H and a reinforcement structure 21R. Each slot hole 21H corresponds to a main body slot 22S. This allows external plugs to pass through the slot holes 21H and into the main body slots 22S to obtain power.
[0034] Furthermore, the decorative panel 21 can be made of materials such as plastic, metal, glass, or ceramic. Most decorative panels are made of plastic, which is generally inexpensive and easy to manufacture and process, such as flame-retardant ABS. Furthermore, the surface of the decorative panel 21 can also be electroplated to enhance the overall texture.
[0035] In addition, some high-end decorative panels use metal materials such as copper and stainless steel, which offer greater durability and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, some design-focused decorative panels use glass, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also offers excellent heat resistance. Furthermore, some decorative panels use ceramic, which offers excellent fire resistance and insulation.
[0036] In this embodiment, the decorative panel 21 has a smooth, seamless surface. Aside from the slot-preserving hole 21H, the decorative panel 21 almost completely covers the socket 22. Therefore, compared to the traditional socket 10, the decorative panel 21 of this invention boasts a remarkably smooth surface, adding a touch of refinement to interior decor. Furthermore, the decorative panel 21's simple appearance blends seamlessly with modern styling, perfectly blending into any interior design style and adding a touch of aesthetics and style to any space. It not only meets daily needs but also enhances the user's home decor experience.
[0037] Furthermore, because the decorative panel 21 has fine-grained pores and lacks the uneven height difference created by the joint 11J of the conventional socket 10, it is less susceptible to dust and dirt accumulation, and scratches are less noticeable, making it easier to clean and maintain. Furthermore, the delicate surface texture and pore design of the decorative panel 21 provide greater comfort during use, offering users a superior tactile experience.
[0038] Please refer again Figure 7 The reinforcing structure 21R is located on the side of the decorative panel 21 facing the socket 22, and surrounds the socket hole 21H. In this embodiment, the reinforcing structure 21R abuts the upper surface of the socket. This effectively increases the overall strength of the decorative panel 21. Furthermore, when subjected to external pressure, the decorative panel 21 is less likely to dent or become damaged, significantly enhancing its durability and protective performance.
[0039] In addition, the four edges of the decorative panel 21 each include a frame 21F. The four frames 21F surround the socket 22, and the upper surface of the decorative panel 21 and the surface of each frame 21F are designed with a matte texture. It is worth noting that it is very difficult to maintain the same matte texture on all five sides. This is because when the particle density of the matte material is higher, the particle size is also larger, and the particles are more likely to be damaged during demolding. This situation is called dragging. Therefore, countless proofing attempts are required to ensure that the five sides can maintain the same matte pattern.
[0040] In addition, the main purpose of the frame 21F is to beautify and protect the socket 22 located in the wall, making the decorative panel 21 neater and more beautiful. In addition, the four frames 21F can also provide certain safety protection to avoid the occurrence of dangerous situations such as electric shock or short circuit.
[0041] See also Figures 8 to 11 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The figure shows a three-dimensional view of a decorative panel 31 according to another embodiment. Figure 10 The illustrated diagram is a perspective view of the socket 32. Figure 11 Shown is a schematic diagram of the decorative panel 31 being assembled on the socket 32 .
[0042] The decorative panel 31 is also assembled onto a socket 32. The socket 32 includes multiple main body slots 32S, which provide an interface for power connection. Furthermore, the decorative panel 31 also has multiple pre-slot holes 31H, each corresponding to one of the main body slots 32S. Furthermore, the surface of the decorative panel 31 is also smooth and seamless. Therefore, the decorative panel 31 easily blends into various interior decor styles and is easy to clean.
[0043] Decorative panel 31 differs from decorative panel 21 in that the three slot holes 31H of decorative panel 31 are arranged in a different direction than the three slot holes 21H of decorative panel 21. Therefore, due to its appearance and shape, a plug using decorative panel 31 may not be inserted into decorative panel 21, and vice versa. Decorative panel 31 and decorative panel 21 are designed to meet different needs and application scenarios. Therefore, when choosing between decorative panel 31 and decorative panel 21, you can choose decorative panel 31 or decorative panel 21 based on the plug model or appearance.
[0044] See also Figures 12 to 14 , Figure 12 The depicted figure is a three-dimensional view of the decorative panel 41. Figure 13 The figure shows a three-dimensional view of the switch body 42. Figure 14The diagram shows a decorative panel 41 assembled to a switch body 42. While the decorative panels 21 and 31 are primarily used on sockets 22 and 32 in the above examples, in other embodiments, the decorative panels can also be used on switches. The following details an embodiment of a switch application:
[0045] The decorative panel 41 is assembled onto the switch body 42. The switch body 42 contains multiple buttons 42S, while the decorative panel 41 is equipped with a button hole 41H and a reinforcement structure 41R. The button holes 41H correspond to the buttons 42S. More specifically, the overall cross-sectional area of the buttons 42S approximates that of the button holes 41H. Furthermore, the buttons 42S are aesthetically pleasing, resulting in a simple and clean design and enhanced tactile feedback.
[0046] It is worth mentioning that the surface of the decorative panel 41 is also smooth and seamless. Therefore, the decorative panel 41 can not only be easily integrated into various interior decoration styles, but is also easy to clean.
[0047] See also Figure 15 , Figure 15 The image shows a perspective view of the decorative panel 41 from another angle. The reinforcement structure 41R is located on the side of the decorative panel 41 that faces the switch body 42, and the reinforcement structure 41R also abuts the upper surface of the switch body 42. This makes the decorative panel 41 less susceptible to dents or damage, greatly improving its durability and protective performance.
[0048] In summary, the decorative panel of the present invention is easily integrated into various interior decoration styles, and its surface is not easy to accumulate dust and dirt, making it easy to clean. At the same time, its simple, neat and exquisite design is a product that is not available on the market and is more suitable for interior designers.
[0049] The above description of the present invention is intended to limit the scope of the patent rights claimed by the present invention. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or scope of this patent shall be considered equivalent changes or designs completed within the spirit of the present invention and shall be included in the claims of the present invention.
