[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a sensor that draws power from a switch, comprising an outer shell 1, a circuit board 2 disposed inside the outer shell 1, and a sensor detection element mounted on the circuit board 2;
[0028] The outer shell 1 includes a sealing cover 11 and a fixing frame 12 sealed with the sealing cover 11; the fixing frame 12 is installed on the outside of the switch;
[0029] The fixing frame 12 includes a sealing bottom plate 121 sealed to the sealing cover 11 and two L-shaped fixing rods 122 arranged opposite to each other at the ends of the sealing bottom plate 121. The L-shaped fixing rods 122 are installed on the rear side of the switch panel in close contact with the wall.
[0030] In this embodiment, the outer shell 1 is used to seal and protect the internal circuit board 2 and sensor detection element and fix it to the outside of the switch to facilitate power supply from the switch; after the circuit board 2 and the sensor detection element are placed on the fixing frame 12, the sealing cover 11 is fastened to seal the circuit board 2 and the sensor detection element therein, and then the L-shaped fixing rods 122 are installed on the rear side of the switch panel in contact with the wall, so that the two L-shaped fixing rods 122 are stuck to the outside of the switch outer shell, thereby enhancing the stability of the installation; the fixing frame 12 is formed as an integral part, which enhances the stability of the overall structure.
[0031] This device connects the wires of the circuit board 2 in parallel with the wires of the switch, and uses the current of the switch to power the circuit board 2 and the sensor detection element. This method makes it more convenient to obtain power and can make the entire device lighter. The circuit board 2 is fixedly installed near the switch through the outer shell 1, which facilitates the observation of the sensor reading.
[0032] like Figure 5-Figure 6 As shown, the tail end of one L-shaped fixing rod 122 has a first hook 1221 and a first groove 1222 with an upward opening, and the tail end of the other L-shaped fixing rod 122 has a second hook 1223 and a second groove 1224 with a downward opening; the first hook 1221 is gap-engaged in the second groove 1224; the second hook 1223 is gap-engaged in the first groove 1222.
[0033] In the embodiment, the tail of the two L-shaped fixing rods 122 can be clamped on the outside of the switch control panel flexibly, and the clamping degree can be adjusted in a small range, thereby enhancing the flexibility of the device.
[0034] As shown in Figure 5 the inside of the two L-shaped fixing rods 122 are respectively provided with screw holes 123 for the screws of the installed switches.
[0035] In the embodiment, the fixing part 122 is fixedly connected with the wall through the screw holes 123, and the inside connection can keep the overall appearance beautiful and can ensure the stability of the whole.
[0036] As shown in Figure 4 the sealing cover 11 is provided with a plurality of air holes 111 on both sides.
[0037] In the embodiment, the air holes 111 are arranged to facilitate the sensor detection element inside the shell 1 to receive information from the outside world, and to convert it into an electric current through the circuit board 2, and finally read the value through the display.
[0038] As shown in Figure 4-Figure 5 the two sides of the top end of the sealing cover 11 are respectively provided with two grooves 112, and the top end of the sealing bottom plate 121 is symmetrically provided with protrusions 1211 corresponding to the grooves 112.
[0039] In the embodiment, the protrusions 1211 at the top end of the sealing bottom plate 121 are inserted into the grooves 112 at the top end of the sealing cover 11, so that the sealing cover 11 and the sealing bottom plate 121 are fixedly connected, and the sealing performance of the sealing cover 11 is enhanced.
[0040] As shown in Figure 5 the accommodating cavity 124 for accommodating the switch panel is formed between the two oppositely arranged L-shaped fixing rods 122, and the sealing bottom plate 121 is provided with a wire hole 1212 in communication with the accommodating cavity 124.
[0041] In the embodiment, the two L-shaped fixing rods 122 are sleeved on the switch panel, and at this time the switch panel is placed into the accommodating cavity 124, and the wire of the circuit board 2 is pulled out from the wire hole 1212 and connected to the wire of the switch to take power from the switch.
