[0002] A smart switch is a device that automatically drives the movement of switching components in a switching device, used for intelligent control of the switching device. It needs to be installed in conjunction with the existing switching device. Currently, to simplify installation, most smart switches are glued to the panel of the existing switching device. However, this glued method has some drawbacks. Over time, the adhesive may fail, causing the smart switch to detach and potentially damage itself. Furthermore, accurate alignment with the switching device is difficult during the glued process, making operation inconvenient and affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems of easy detachment, inconvenient operation, and difficulty in accurate alignment of existing intelligent switch devices using adhesive fixing methods, this application provides an intelligent switch control device and an intelligent switch equipment.

[0004] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides an intelligent switch control device for installation on a switch device. The intelligent switch control device includes: a housing with a mounting hole extending through the housing along a first direction and used to align with a corresponding fixing hole on the switch device. The first direction is perpendicular to the mounting surface of the housing. Fasteners pass through the mounting hole and are connected to the corresponding fixing hole; a drive assembly connected to the housing and used to drive the movement of the switching element of the switch device to open or close the switch device; and a controller communicatively connected to the drive assembly for receiving external operation commands and controlling the operation of the drive assembly.

[0005] In a further embodiment of this application, the through area of ​​the mounting hole is not less than a first threshold so as to cover the corresponding fixing hole, thereby facilitating the fastener to pass through the mounting hole and connect to the corresponding fixing hole.

[0006] In a further embodiment of this application, the housing has a plurality of mounting holes, wherein at least two mounting holes are spaced apart by a predetermined distance, the predetermined distance being such that at least two mounting holes coincide with the positions of corresponding fixing holes on the switching device; in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, at least two mounting holes are located on both sides of the drive assembly.

[0007] In a further embodiment of this application, there are two mounting holes, both of which are strip-shaped holes. The two strip-shaped holes are symmetrically arranged in the second direction. The size of the strip-shaped holes in the third direction is greater than the size in the second direction. The third direction is perpendicular to both the second and first directions. The strip-shaped holes allow the fastener to slide along the third direction so that the fastener passes through the mounting hole and connects with the corresponding fixing hole.

[0008] In a further embodiment of this application, the housing includes a first housing and a second housing disposed opposite to each other in a first direction. The first housing and the second housing are connected to form a receiving cavity located between the first housing and the second housing, and the first housing has an operating port that extends through in the first direction.

The first housing has a first opening at a position corresponding to the mounting hole, and on a projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the outline of the first opening is entirely located inside the mounting hole. The edge of the first opening can abut against the limiting portion of the fastener. In a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the size of the first opening is smaller than the size of the corresponding mounting hole. In a third direction perpendicular to both the first and second directions, the size of the first opening is smaller than the size of the corresponding mounting hole.

[0011] In a further embodiment of this application, the driving component includes: a movable member, which is disposed corresponding to the operation port, and has an operation protrusion structure at one end of the movable member facing the operation port. The operation protrusion structure extends out of the operation port and is used to abut against the switching element of the switching device; and a driving mechanism, which is connected to the movable member for driving the movable member to move in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, so as to drive the switching element of the switching device through the operation protrusion structure.

[0012] In a further embodiment of this application, the driving mechanism includes: a screw mechanism disposed on one side of the movable member and extending along a second direction, and the screw mechanism being rotatably connected to the housing; a sleeve sleeved on the screw mechanism, with one side of the sleeve connected to the movable member, and a movable block connected inside the sleeve, the movable block being slidably engaged with the threaded groove of the screw mechanism, the movable block being used to drive the sleeve and the movable member to move along the second direction during the rotation of the screw mechanism; and a drive motor, the drive motor being communicatively connected to the controller, and the output end of the drive motor being drively connected to one end of the screw mechanism for driving the screw mechanism to rotate.

[0015] According to the intelligent switch control device of this application, through structural improvements and optimizations, mounting holes adapted to the fixing holes of existing switch devices are provided on the housing. During installation, the through mounting holes on the housing can be accurately aligned with the original fixing holes on the switch device, and the device can be directly connected and fixed by fasteners such as bolts or screws passing through the corresponding mounting holes and fixing holes. The alignment operation is relatively convenient and the structure is simple. Compared with the common adhesive fixing method, the connection method of this application is more secure and less prone to falling off. It can be effectively adapted to existing switch devices, which is conducive to improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods.

This is to avoid obscuring the core parts of the present application with excessive description. For those skilled in the art, detailed description of these related operations is not necessary; they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and general technical knowledge in the art.

[0033] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0034] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0035] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to abutment; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0037] The intelligent switch control device of this application can be used with existing switch devices. By providing through mounting holes in the housing, it allows for precise alignment with the existing fixing holes on the switch device during installation. Fasteners such as bolts or screws are then used to directly connect and fix the device through the corresponding mounting and fixing holes. This alignment process is convenient, and the structure is simple, the connection is secure, and it is not easily detached. In use, the controller can receive external operation commands and control the drive components to perform corresponding actions, thereby driving the switching elements of the switch device to open or close the switch device, achieving intelligent switch control operation.

[0038] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides some embodiments of the intelligent switch control device and intelligent switch equipment provided in this application.

[0039] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides an intelligent switch control device 100. For example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the system includes a housing 1, a drive assembly 2, and a controller 3. The housing 1 serves as a mounting base and has an internal cavity. The drive assembly 2 and the controller 3 are disposed within the cavity of the housing 1. The housing 1 has a mounting hole 11 extending along a first direction, which is perpendicular to the mounting surface of the housing 1. For example... Figure 1 The thickness direction of the housing 1; the mounting hole 11 is used to align and cooperate with the fixing hole 51 of the corresponding switch device 500 during installation, such as... Figure 4 In the example, fastener 12 passes through mounting hole 11 and connects to corresponding fixing hole 51 to fix the intelligent switch control device 100 to the switch device 500. The mounting surface of housing 1 is mounted on the surface of the corresponding switch device 500. Drive assembly 2 is connected to housing 1 and communicates with controller 3. After housing 1 is fixedly connected to switch device 500, drive assembly 2 can drive the switch element 52 on switch device 500 to move, thereby opening or closing switch device 500. Controller 3 can receive external operation commands and control drive assembly 2 to perform corresponding actions according to the operation commands to drive switch element 52 to move accordingly, thereby realizing intelligent control operation of switch device 500.

[0040] It is understandable that in practical applications, existing switching devices are usually manually operated mechanical switching devices. In order to achieve intelligent control, it is usually necessary to set up a corresponding control device. However, during installation, the control device and the switching device are usually fixed by adhesive. However, the above fixing method has poor reliability and there is a risk that the control device will fall off due to the aging of the adhesive, which is not suitable for long-term use.

[0041] The intelligent switch control device in this embodiment, through structural improvements and optimizations, is equipped with mounting holes adapted to existing switch devices. During installation, the through mounting holes on the housing can be accurately aligned with the original fixing holes on the existing switch device, and the device can be directly connected and fixed by fasteners such as bolts or screws passing through the corresponding mounting holes and fixing holes. The alignment operation is relatively convenient, and the structure is simple, the connection is firm, and it is not easy to fall off. It can be effectively adapted to existing switch devices, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0042] During installation, such as Figures 1 to 4 In the example shown, after aligning the intelligent switch control device 100 with the existing switch device 500, the fastener 12 can be directly inserted into the mounting hole 11 on the side of the housing 1 away from the switch device 500 for fixing, without disassembling the housing 1, making the operation simple and quick. Specifically, the fixing operation of the fastener 12 to the switch device 500 can be either a direct threaded connection with the fixing hole 51, or the fastener 12 can pass through the mounting hole 11 and the fixing hole 51 and be fixed to the mounting base (e.g., a wall or electrical equipment) of the switch device 500, so that the switch device 500 and the intelligent switch control device 100 are fixed together on the mounting base.

[0043] It should be noted that the existing switching devices described in this application can have either push-button or toggle switches as their switching components. The intelligent switch control device in this embodiment can be effectively adapted to drive either push-button or toggle switches. Furthermore, the housing can be made of insulating material to ensure safety during use.

[0044] In further embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the through area of ​​the mounting hole 11 on the housing 1 is not less than a first threshold. The size of the first threshold is set according to the size of the fixing hole 51 of the existing switch device 500, and the first threshold is greater than or equal to the through area of ​​the fixing hole 51. During installation, the through area of ​​the mounting hole 11 that is aligned is not less than the through area of ​​the corresponding fixing hole 51, so that the mounting hole 11 can cover the corresponding fixing hole 51, so that the fastener 12 passing through the mounting hole 11 can effectively cooperate with the fixing hole 51 to form a connection and fixation, and avoid the normal connection being affected by the size mismatch.

[0045] In further embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 as well as Figures 3 to 5In the example, the housing 1 has multiple mounting holes 11. Among the multiple mounting holes 11, at least two mounting holes 11 are separated by a set distance L. The set distance L is specifically set according to the distance between the fixing holes 51 on the existing switch device 500, so that during installation, the set distance L between at least two mounting holes 11 coincides with the position of the corresponding fixing hole 51. Thus, after being connected by the corresponding fasteners 12, the housing 1 and the switch device 500 can be fixed at multiple points. At least two mounting holes 11 are located on both sides of the drive assembly 2, thereby further improving the connection strength and stability.

[0046] In further embodiments of this application, such as Figures 4 to 5 In the example shown, the housing 1 is specifically provided with two mounting holes 11, and both mounting holes 11 are strip-shaped holes; in the second direction perpendicular to the first direction, for example... Figure 4 In the height direction of the housing 1 shown in the figure, two mounting holes 11 are symmetrically arranged. The third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions, for example, the width direction of the housing 1 shown in the figure. The size of the strip hole in the third direction is larger than its size in the second direction, allowing the fastener 12 to slide along the third direction within the strip hole, enabling the fastener 12 to accurately align and connect with the corresponding fixing hole 51. It can be understood that because the fastener 12 can slide along the third direction within the strip hole, the coverage area of ​​the mounting holes 11 is expanded. Even if the position of the fixing hole 51 of the switch device 500 has a certain deviation in the third direction, its position can be adjusted by sliding the fastener 12, still ensuring accurate alignment with the fixing hole 51, further improving the adaptability and versatility of the intelligent switch control device 100.

[0047] It should be noted that the above is only a preferred implementation of the mounting hole. In practical applications, the mounting hole can be further optimized based on this. For example, one of the two mounting holes can be set as a strip hole with a size larger in the second direction than in the third direction, so that the fastener can move in the second direction in the mounting hole to adjust its position. This allows the intelligent switch control device to adjust the position of the fastener in both the second direction and the third direction, which is beneficial to further expand the coverage area.

[0048] In further embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the housing 1 of the intelligent switch control device 100 includes a first housing 131 and a second housing 132. The first housing 131 and the second housing 132 are disposed opposite to each other in a first direction and are connected to each other so that the space between the first housing 131 and the second housing 132 forms a receiving cavity for accommodating the drive assembly 2 and the controller 3. The first housing 131 has an operating port 1311 that extends along the first direction. At least a portion of the drive assembly 2 passes through the operating port 1311 so that after the housing 1 is connected and fixed to the switch device 500, the drive assembly 2 can contact the switching element 52 of the switch device 500 to drive the switching element 52 to move to open or close the switch device 500.

[0049] It should be noted that after being connected and fixed with the existing switch device 500, the contact position and driving method between the drive assembly 2 and the switch device 52 vary depending on the type of switch device 52. Furthermore, the first housing 131 and the second housing 132 can be connected in various ways, such as by a snap-fit ​​structure or by bolts, to facilitate assembly and disassembly.

[0050] In further embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second housing 132 has a sidewall with a mounting hole 11 on the side facing the first housing 131, and the sidewall with the mounting hole 11 extends from the second housing 132 toward the first housing 131 and abuts against the first housing 131 to match the thickness of the housing 1; the first housing 131 has a first opening 1313 corresponding to the mounting hole 11, and on a projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the outline of the first opening 1313 is entirely located inside the mounting hole 11, for example... Figure 5 Example in the diagram. When the fastener 12 passes through the mounting hole 11, the limiting portion 121 of the fastener 12 can abut against the edge of the first opening 1313, for example... Figure 8 The example in the text is such that a portion of the fastener 12 protrudes from the first opening 1313 to connect with the fixing hole 51. For example, when using a screw-type fastener 12, Figure 9 and Figure 10 For example, the screw is inserted into the mounting hole 11 from the side of the second housing 132 away from the first housing 131. The connecting part of the screw can pass through the first opening 1313 and connect with the fixing hole 51. The nut of the screw abuts against the edge of the first opening 1313 to limit and tighten.

[0051] Furthermore, in a specific implementation, such as Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10In the example, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the size of the first opening 1313 in the second direction is smaller than the size of the corresponding mounting hole 11 in the second direction, so that when the fastener 12 is inserted into the mounting hole 11, the limiting portion 121 of the fastener 12 can abut against and limit the fastener with the two side edges of the first opening 1313 in the second direction. The third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions, and the size of the first opening 1313 in the third direction is smaller than the size of the corresponding mounting hole 11 in the third direction, so that when the fastener 12 is located near either end of the mounting hole 11 in the third direction, the limiting portion 121 of the fastener 12 can also abut against the side edge of the first opening 1313 at the corresponding end in the third direction, thereby further increasing the contact area and enhancing the limiting and fixing effect.

[0052] In further embodiments of this application, such as Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, a battery receiving slot 1312 is provided inside the housing 1 to accommodate the power supply battery 41, so that the power supply battery 41 can supply power to the drive assembly 2 and the controller 3. In the first direction, the battery receiving slot 1312 faces the second housing 132. Correspondingly, the end face of the second housing 132 opposite to the first housing 131 is provided with an opening corresponding to the battery receiving slot 1312 and a battery cover plate 1321. The battery cover plate 1321 is detachably connected to the second housing 132 to facilitate opening or closing the battery receiving slot 1312 when installing or removing the power supply battery 41. By providing the battery cover plate 1321 at the end of the second housing 132 opposite to the first housing 131, the power supply battery 41 can be assembled after the housing 1 is connected and fixed to the existing switch device 500, and the power supply battery 41 can be removed or replaced separately without disassembling the housing 1, making the operation more convenient.

[0053] It should be noted that the battery receiving slot 1312 has a conductive structure that connects to the drive assembly 2 and the controller 3, so that when the power supply battery 41 is installed in the battery receiving slot 1312, it can form an electrical connection with the drive assembly 2 and the controller 3 through the conductive structure.

[0054] In further embodiments of this application, such as Figures 6 to 7As shown, the drive assembly 2 includes a movable member 21 and a drive mechanism 22. The movable member 21 is correspondingly disposed with an operation port 1311 on the first housing 131 and is movable relative to the first housing 131. The end of the movable member 21 facing the operation port 1311 has an operation protrusion structure 211, which protrudes from the operation port 1311 to abut against the switch element 52 of the switch device 500. The drive mechanism 22 is drivenly connected to the movable member 21 to output power to the movable member 21. When the drive mechanism 22 is working, it can drive the movable member 21 to move in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, thereby driving the switch element 52 of the switch device 500 to produce a corresponding movement through the operation protrusion structure 211 on the movable member 21, thereby opening or closing the switch device 500.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the drive mechanism 22 specifically includes a screw mechanism 221, a sleeve 222, a movable block 223, and a drive motor 224. The screw mechanism 221 extends along the second direction and is located on the side of the moving member 21 in the third direction. The screw mechanism 221 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 224 so that the screw mechanism 221 is driven to rotate by the torque output by the drive motor 224. The sleeve 222 is sleeved on the screw mechanism 221, and one end of the sleeve 222 is connected to the moving member 21. The movable block 223 is provided inside the sleeve 222. The movable block 223 is connected to the sleeve 222 and slides in cooperation with the threaded groove of the screw mechanism 221. When the screw mechanism 221 rotates, the movable block 223 can slide along the threaded groove, driving the sleeve 222 and the moving member 21 to move along the second direction, thereby driving the switch member 52 of the switch device 500 to move. The drive motor 224 is communicatively connected to the controller 3 so as to operate under the control of the controller 3. The moving part 21 can be moved in the forward and reverse directions in the second direction by controlling the drive motor 224 to rotate forward and reverse, thereby realizing the opening and closing operation of the switch 52.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 In the example shown, the sleeve 222 and the movable part 21 can be an integral structure. The sleeve 222 has a through-type snap-fit ​​structure 2221 on the side facing the second housing 132 in the first direction. The movable block 223 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​structure 2221, and one end of the movable block 223 extending into the sleeve 222 slides in engagement with the threaded groove of the screw mechanism 221. During assembly, the screw mechanism 221 can be inserted into the sleeve 222 first, and then the movable block 223 can be installed into the snap-fit ​​structure 2221, which facilitates installation and disassembly.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 , Figures 9 to 11In the example shown, the moving part 21 can have a plate-like structure; the first housing 131 has a mounting groove 1315 on the side facing the switching device 500, and the operating port 1311 is located on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 1315. When connected to an existing switching device 500, the mounting groove 1315 provides space for the switching element 52 of the switching device 500 to prevent mutual interference; the operating protrusion structure 211 extends through the operating port 1311 into the mounting groove 1315 to abut against the switching element 52, thereby driving the switching element 52 to move. Figure 9 The state shown is the state in which the operating protrusion structure 211 drives the switch element 52 to move to the first position. Figure 10 The state shown is the state in which the operating protrusion structure 211 drives the switch 52 to move to the second position; of the first position and the second position, one is the position where the switch device 500 is open, and the other is the position where the switch device 500 is closed.

[0058] Furthermore, in Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 In the example, the movable member 21 has two operating protrusions 211 spaced apart along the second direction on the side facing the operation port 1311. When the movable member 21 moves along the second direction, the corresponding operating protrusion 211 pushes the push button switch to move, thereby turning the switch device 500 on or off.

[0059] In another embodiment, such as Figure 7 , Figure 9 In the example, a second opening 212 is provided between two operating protrusions 211 on the moving member 21. The second opening 212 extends in the first direction so as to reserve space for the lever switch when it is assembled with a switch device (not shown) having a lever switch, so that the lever switch can pass through the second opening 212. When the moving member 21 moves in the second direction, the operating protrusion 211 on the corresponding side pushes the lever switch to move, thereby opening or closing the switch device.

[0060] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides an intelligent switching device, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 9 , Figure 10As shown, the intelligent switchgear includes a switch device 500 and an intelligent switch control device 100 as described in any of the embodiments of the first aspect. The switch device 500 has a switch element 52 and a fixing hole 51, and the switch device 500 can be fixed to a wall or electrical equipment to serve as a power switch for the electrical equipment. The housing 1 of the intelligent switch control device 100 is correspondingly provided on the side of the switch device 500 where the switch element 52 is provided. The mounting hole 11 on the housing 1 corresponds to the fixing hole 51 of the switch device 500, and fasteners 12 are inserted into the corresponding mounting hole 11 and fixing hole 51. The fasteners 12 are connected to the fixing hole 51 to fix the housing 1 to the switch device 500. At the same time, the controller 3 of the intelligent switch control device 100 can receive external operation commands and perform corresponding control operations on the drive component 2 so that the drive component 2 can drive the switch element 52 of the switch device 500 to move, thereby turning the switch device 500 on or off.

[0061] The following describes a specific example of the intelligent switching device of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the intelligent switchgear includes a switch device 500 and an intelligent switch control device 100.

[0063] like Figure 4 In the example shown, the intelligent switch control device 100 includes a housing 1, a drive assembly 2, and a controller 3. The thickness direction of the housing 1 is a first direction, the height direction is a second direction, and the width direction is a third direction. The housing 1 is positioned opposite the switch device 500 in the first direction. The switch device 500 has a switch element 52 on its side facing the housing 1 for opening or closing the switch device 500. In the second direction, two fixing holes 51 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the switch element 52.

[0064] like Figures 3 to 10As shown, housing 1 includes a first housing 131 and a second housing 132. The first housing 131 and the second housing 132 are arranged opposite to each other in a first direction and are connected to each other, so that the space between the first housing 131 and the second housing 132 forms a receiving cavity to accommodate the drive assembly 2 and the controller 3. The first housing 131 has an operating port 1311 extending along the first direction, and the first housing 131 is located on the side facing the switching device 500. Housing 1 has two mounting holes 11 extending along the first direction, and the two mounting holes 11 are symmetrically arranged in a second direction and are respectively aligned with the two fixing holes 51 of the switching device 500. Both mounting holes 11 are strip-shaped holes extending along a third direction, that is, the size of the mounting hole 11 in the third direction is larger than its size in the second direction. The first housing 131 and the second housing 132 are snapped together by a snap-fit ​​structure, and the space between the first housing 131 and the second housing 132 forms a receiving cavity, in which the drive assembly 2 and the controller 3 are both disposed. The sidewall of the mounting hole 11 extends from the end of the second housing 132 away from the first housing 131 into the first housing 131 and abuts against the inner wall surface of the first housing 131. The first housing 131 has a first opening 1313 corresponding to the mounting hole 11. In the second direction, the size of the first opening 1313 is smaller than the size of the mounting hole 11. In the third direction, the size of the first opening 1313 is smaller than the size of the mounting hole 11, so that in the projection plane perpendicular to the first direction, the first opening 1313 is entirely located inside the mounting hole 11. A fastener 12 is inserted into each mounting hole 11. The fastener 12 is specifically a screw. The connecting part of the fastener 12 passes through the first opening 1313 and extends into the corresponding fixing hole 51. The limiting part 121 (nut) of the fastener 12 abuts against the edge of the first opening 1313 so that the limiting part 121 is located in the mounting hole 11 and presses the first housing 131 onto the switch device 500, and the connection and fixation are achieved by the fastener 12. When the fastener 12 is inserted into the mounting hole 11 and the fixing hole 51, the fastener 12 can move in the mounting hole 11 along the second direction so that the fastener 12 can be accurately aligned with the fixing hole 51.

[0065] like Figures 9 to 11As shown, the drive assembly 2 includes a movable component 21 and a drive mechanism 22. The drive mechanism 22 specifically includes a screw mechanism 221, a sleeve 222, a movable block 223, and a drive motor 224. The movable component 21 has a plate-like structure and is correspondingly arranged with the operation port 1311 on the first housing 131. The side of the first housing 131 facing the switch device 500 has an assembly groove 1315, and the operation port 1311 is located on the bottom wall of the assembly groove 1315. The end of the movable component 21 facing the operation port 1311 has two operation protrusions 211. The two operation protrusions 211 are spaced apart along a second direction and extend out of the operation port 1311 to abut against the switch component 52 of the switch device 500. The area on the movable component 21 between the two operation protrusions 211 has a second opening 212 that extends along a first direction.

[0066] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the screw mechanism 221 extends along the second direction and is located on the side of the moving member 21 facing the third direction. The screw mechanism 221 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 224 so that the screw mechanism 221 is driven to rotate by the torque output by the drive motor 224. The sleeve 222 and the moving member 21 are integral structures and are located on the side of the moving member 21 facing the screw mechanism 221. The sleeve 222 is sleeved on the screw mechanism 221. The sleeve 222 has a snap-fit ​​structure 2221 that extends along the first direction. A movable block 223 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​structure 2221. One end of the movable block 223 extends into the sleeve 222 and slides in the threaded groove of the screw mechanism 221. When the screw mechanism 221 rotates, the movable block 223 can slide along the threaded groove and drive the sleeve 222 and the moving member 21 to move along the second direction, thereby driving the switch member 52 of the switch device 500 to move. The drive motor 224 is communicatively connected to the controller 3 to operate under the control of the controller 3. By controlling the drive motor 224 to rotate forward and reverse, the moving part 21 can move forward and backward in the second direction, thereby realizing the opening and closing operations of the switch 52.

[0067] like Figure 6 and Figure 11As shown, inside the housing 1, a battery receiving slot 1312 is provided on the side away from the screw mechanism 221 in a third direction. In the first direction, the battery receiving slot 1312 faces the second housing 132. Correspondingly, the end face of the second housing 132 opposite to the first housing 131 is provided with an opening corresponding to the battery receiving slot 1312 and a battery cover plate 1321. The battery cover plate 1321 is detachably connected to the second housing 132. The battery receiving slot 1312 has a conductive structure that connects to the drive assembly 2 and the controller 3, so that when the power supply battery 41 is installed in the battery receiving slot 1312, it can form an electrical connection with the drive assembly 2 and the controller 3 through the conductive structure to supply power to the drive assembly 2 and the controller 3.

[0068] In this embodiment, the intelligent switch device, through structural improvements and optimizations, has mounting holes 11 on the housing 1 of the intelligent switch control device 100 that are compatible with the fixing holes 51 of the switch device 500. During installation, the mounting holes 11 on the housing 1 can be accurately aligned with the existing fixing holes 51 on the switch device 500, and fasteners such as bolts or screws can be directly connected and fixed by passing through the corresponding mounting holes 11 and fixing holes 51. The fixing operation can be performed directly on the side of the housing 1 away from the switch device 500 without disassembling the housing 1, making the operation more convenient. The connection is firm and not easy to fall off, and it can be effectively adapted to the existing switch device 500, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
