Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of support structure technology, and in particular to a support plate with a sliding contact power connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing sockets are wall-mounted, resulting in poor mobility and numerous wiring options. There are generally two wiring methods: one is to run the wires inside the wall, which requires breaking through the wall; the other is to run the wires outside the wall, but this affects aesthetics and has poor safety. Both methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly. Furthermore, once existing sockets are installed and fixed, their positions are essentially fixed. If the appliance's power cord is not long enough, it won't reach the socket, usually requiring an extension cord to connect the appliance to the socket, which is cumbersome. Changing the socket's position often requires breaking through the wall. Additionally, if additional plug positions are needed later, it also requires breaking through the wall to add sockets, resulting in extremely poor flexibility and expandability. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by designing a support plate with a sliding contact power connection structure, which solves the problem that the socket cannot be moved at will.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to achieve the above objectives is a support plate with a sliding contact electrical connection structure, comprising:

[0005] The plate body has a receiving groove that extends along the length of the plate body, and the plate body has a receiving cavity for receiving wires.

[0006] A slide rail engages with the receiving groove, and the slide rail has a groove that facilitates the sliding of the socket, the groove extending along the length of the slide rail.

[0007] A conductive rod is inserted inside the slide rail. There are at least three conductive rods, and the three conductive rods can be electrically connected to the neutral wire, the ground wire, and the live wire, respectively. The power receiving end of the socket can be electrically connected to the conductive rod.

[0008] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the receiving groove is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the slide rail.

[0009] Preferably, the two ends of the plate body in the width direction have a locking part for engaging with the support member and a sliding groove for sliding the hook, and the plate on at least one side of the sliding groove is bent inward to form a limiting part.

[0010] Preferably, the inner side of the plate body is provided with at least two connecting parts for connecting with screws, and the two connecting parts are respectively located near both ends in the width direction of the plate body.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting portion extends along the length direction of the plate body.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting portion has an opening that extends along the length of the connecting portion.

[0013] Preferably, at least one insertion hole is provided on each side and bottom of the slide rail near the slide groove, and the conductive rod is inserted into the insertion hole. The insertion hole has an opening so that at least a portion of the conductive rod is exposed.

[0014] Furthermore, two insertion holes are provided on each side of the slide rail near the slide groove, and the two insertion holes are arranged opposite each other. Each of the two insertion holes has an opening on the opposite side. There is a gap between the two conductive rods inserted into the two insertion holes, and the gap is connected to the slide groove.

[0015] Furthermore, both sides of the slide groove have slots, and the slots are connected to the gaps between the two insertion holes.

[0016] Preferably, sealing plates are installed at both ends of the plate body along its length, and the sealing plates are fixed to the plate body by screws.

[0017] Its advantages over existing technologies are:

[0018] This invention integrates a slide rail on a support plate. The slide rail is inserted into a receiving groove on the plate body, and at least three conductive rods are inserted into the slide rail. Since the support plate is part of the bottom support structure of the wall cabinet, the slide rail can be directly installed on the support structure without the need for additional fixing structures, making installation more convenient. The socket can slide along the groove on the slide rail to adjust its position. During movement, the socket's wiring terminals maintain contact with the three conductive rods, ensuring circuit continuity. The wires connecting the three conductive rods can be concealed within the plate body. Multiple sockets can be connected simultaneously, resulting in a simple structure, greater flexibility, and solving the problem of inflexible socket position adjustment in existing technologies.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a preferred embodiment of this utility model proposes a support plate with a sliding contact electrical connection structure. This support plate is part of the bracket structure of a wall-mounted cabinet. After the wall-mounted cabinet is suspended from the wall, a bracket structure is installed at the bottom of the cabinet to support it. This support plate is typically installed on the wall.

[0027] refer to Figures 1-2 The supporting plate in this utility model mainly includes a plate body 1, a slide rail 2, a conductive rod 3, and a sealing plate 4. The plate body 1 is a profile, and the slide rail 2 is inserted into the plate body 1 for easy disassembly and assembly. The conductive rod 3 is placed inside the slide rail 2 and is electrically connected to the neutral wire, live wire, and ground wire of the power supply, respectively. The socket can slide along the slide rail 2 to adjust its position. The three terminals on the socket (i.e., the live wire terminal, the neutral wire terminal, and the ground wire terminal) are electrically connected to the conductive rod 3.

[0028] like Figures 2-4 As shown in the figure, the arrow points in the direction of length. A receiving groove 101 is provided on the front of the plate body 1. The cross-sectional shape of the receiving groove 101 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the slide rail 2 so that the slide rail 2 will not wobble after being placed in the receiving groove 101. The receiving groove 101 extends along the length direction of the supporting plate, and both ends of the receiving groove 101 are through to allow the slide rail 2 to be inserted into the receiving groove 101.

[0029] The receiving groove 101 has an opening on the side facing the main body of the sheet metal, so that the socket can slide along the slide rail 2. Both the slide rail 2 and the receiving groove 101 have interlocking protrusions and recesses that lock together to limit the slide rail 2 and prevent it from disengaging from the receiving groove 101. The length of the slide rail 2 is generally the same as the length of the sheet metal body 1.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the slide rail 2 has a groove 201 for the socket to slide. The groove 201 also extends along the length of the slide rail 2 and its two ends are open, so that the socket can be inserted into the slide rail 2 from one end and slide along the groove 201.

[0031] On both sides of the slide groove 201, there is a slot 203 communicating with the slide groove 201. On the upper and lower sides of each slot 203, there is a socket 202, both of which are connected to the slot 203. After the conductive rods 3 are inserted into the sockets 202, a portion of the opposite sides of the two conductive rods 3 will be exposed inside the slot 203, while a certain gap remains between the two conductive rods 3. This allows the live wire and neutral wire terminals of the socket to engage with the slots 203 on both sides of the slide groove 201 and make contact with the two conductive rods 3. The slots 203 on both sides of the slide groove 201 can limit and clamp the live wire and neutral wire terminals of the socket, preventing them from loosening, while ensuring that the live wire and neutral wire terminals are always clamped by the two conductive rods 3 and maintain good contact with them.

[0032] A socket 202 is also provided on one side of the bottom of the slide groove 201. The socket 202 has an opening on one side, and a baffle 204 is provided directly opposite the opening. An appropriate gap is left between the baffle 204 and the socket 202. After the conductive rod 3 is inserted into the socket 202, a part of the conductive rod 3 is exposed and a certain gap is left between it and the baffle 204. In this way, when the ground wire terminal of the socket is inserted into the gap between the baffle 204 and the conductive rod 3, it will be clamped and limited by the gap, while ensuring that the ground wire terminal of the socket is always in sliding contact with the conductive rod 3.

[0033] The aforementioned conductive rod 3 also extends along the length of the slide groove 201, so no matter how the socket moves, the socket's wiring terminals will always maintain a sliding contact connection with the conductive rod 3.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the concealment of wires, there is a receiving cavity 102 on each side of the slide groove 201 on the plate body 1. The wires (i.e., the live wire, ground wire and neutral wire used for power connection) are hidden in the receiving cavity 102. Then the live wire, neutral wire and ground wire are electrically connected to the conductive rod 3 at the corresponding position to supply power.

[0035] At both ends of the plate body 1 in the width direction, there are engaging parts 103 and sliding grooves 104 respectively. The supporting plate is generally vertically fixed on the wall, so the engaging part 103 is generally at the upper end of the plate body 1, and the sliding groove 104 is located at the lower end of the plate body 1.

[0036] The support panel is perpendicularly joined to other panels to form the support structure of the wall cabinet. Other panels are horizontally engaged with the locking part 103 on the support panel. The locking part 103 is formed by bending two panels towards each other, and one end of the other panels is inserted into the groove of the locking part 103.

[0037] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 The bottom of the plate body 1 is bent, forming a sliding groove 104 at the bottom. A limiting portion 1041 is formed by bending the plate on one side of the sliding groove 104. When a hook is inserted into the sliding groove 104 from one end of the supporting plate, the limiting portion 1041 can support the hook to prevent it from falling off. The sliding groove 104 also extends along the length of the plate body 1, allowing the hook to slide to any position.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, on the inner side of the plate body 1, near both ends in the width direction, there is a connecting part 105. The connecting part 105 extends along the length direction of the plate body 1, and the specific number of connecting parts 105 is determined by the width of the plate body 1. The connecting part 105 has a circular cross-sectional shape and a threaded hole running through it. The sealing plate 4 is fixedly installed at both ends of the plate body 1 along its length direction by screws, sealing both ends. The screws are threaded into the screw holes on the connecting parts 105.

[0039] An opening can also be made along the length of the connecting part 105, making the connecting part 105 a semi-closed structure. Due to the existence of the opening, the connecting part 105 has a certain degree of expansion, so that screws can also be connected to the connecting part 105 to fix the sealing plate 4. At the same time, the connecting part 105 can also accommodate screws of different sizes.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the sealing plate 4 closes both ends of the plate body 1 along its length, which can prevent the slide rail 2 from sliding out and also improve the aesthetics of the support plate, hiding the wires inside the support plate.

[0041] The above technical solution only embodies the preferred technical solution of this utility model. Any changes that may be made by those skilled in the art to certain parts of it embody the principle of this utility model and fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
