Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical switch technology, specifically to a wall switch with dustproof function. Background Technology
[0002] A wall switch is an electrical switch installed on a wall to control the on / off state of a circuit. During installation, holes are typically drilled in the wall, the switch body is inserted into the hole, and a mounting plate is then installed on the wall. This installation method presents a problem: dust from the wall can easily enter the gap between the button and the panel, and even get inside the switch. This can not only hinder the button's operation but also lead to poor contact, affecting its normal use.
[0003] The wall switch with dustproof function disclosed in Chinese utility model patent CN216389126U has a panel that is thicker in the middle and narrower at the sides. It is mounted on a mounting plate, and the button is connected to one side of the panel by a hinge. The button has a dustproof flange that extends towards the panel and surrounds the upper part of the panel and the mounting plate, including the upper flange and the side flanges. This design can effectively prevent dust from falling into the switch during installation and use, avoiding dust from obstructing the button's movement or causing poor contact. The panel also has multiple openings and support shafts. The support shafts have U-shaped grooves that cooperate with the hinge plate on the button to achieve smooth rotation of the button. The outer perimeter of the panel has a protective flange that fits tightly against the mounting plate. Although this structure does prevent dust from the top from entering the switch, there are no protective measures on the sides of the switch. Dust can still enter the switch from the sides, and there is a possibility of accidental contact with the surrounding wall, leaving fingerprints or other contaminants on the wall. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the aforementioned deficiencies in the existing technology by proposing a wall switch with a dustproof function. By incorporating a dirt-proof flange and a dustproof block, it solves the problem of operators accidentally touching the switch and leaving fingerprints on the surrounding wall, as well as preventing dust from entering the switch through gaps on the side.
[0006] II. Technical Solution
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a wall switch with a dustproof function, including a mounting base fixedly connected to the wall, a panel covering the entire mounting base being snapped onto the mounting base, a trigger block for controlling the on / off state of the circuit being snapped onto the panel, a switching button being rotatably connected to the center of the trigger block, and a dustproof mechanism covering the entire side of the wall switch being snapped onto the outside of the trigger block, the dustproof mechanism including a dustproof block to prevent dust from entering the panel from the gaps on the side of the wall switch.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown: A wall switch with dustproof function includes a mounting base 1 fixedly connected to the wall, a panel 2 covering the entire mounting base 1 is snapped onto the mounting base 1, a trigger block 3 for controlling the on / off of the circuit is snapped onto the panel 2, a switch button 31 is rotatably connected to the center of the trigger block 3, and a dustproof mechanism 4 covering the entire side of the wall switch is snapped onto the trigger block 3. The dustproof mechanism 4 includes a dustproof block 41 that prevents dust from entering the panel 2 from the gaps on the side of the wall switch.
[0026] Existing technologies primarily address dust prevention mechanisms (4) designed above wall switches, but do not protect the sides of the wall. Dust can still enter the panel 2 through gaps on the side of the wall switch. To address this, this invention provides a wall switch design incorporating a dust prevention mechanism (4) on the side of the switch. The wall switch includes a mounting base 1 fixedly connected to the wall. A panel 2 covering the entire mounting is snapped onto the mounting base 1. The panel 2 enhances the support strength of the mounting base 1 while also providing a degree of aesthetic appeal to the wall. A trigger block 3 is snapped onto the outer side of the panel 2 away from the mounting base 1. The trigger block 3 controls the circuit's on / off state, and a toggle button 31 is rotatably connected to the center of the trigger block 3, allowing the circuit's on / off state to be changed. The entire outer side of the switch is fitted with a dust prevention mechanism (4), which includes a dust prevention block 41. When the dust prevention mechanism (4) is engaged with the trigger block 3, the dust prevention block 41 completely covers the gaps on the side of the wall switch, preventing dust from entering the panel 2 from the side of the wall switch.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the panel 2 is equipped with reinforcing ribs 21 to enhance its structural strength. These ribs 21 are distributed in a grid pattern inside the panel 2, effectively dispersing and bearing the pressure and stress caused by switch operation, thereby reducing the possibility of bending or deformation of the panel 2. Through the reinforcement effect of the reinforcing ribs 21, the panel 2 can better resist external physical impacts, maintain its shape and function, and ensure the long-term stable use of the wall switch.
[0028] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the trigger block 3 has a horizontal mounting hole 32 running through its center. A rotating shaft 33 for rotating the toggle button 31 is inserted into the mounting hole 32. The toggle button 31 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 33, allowing the toggle button 31 to rotate relative to the trigger block 3. When the user needs to control the circuit's on / off state, the toggle button 31 is operated, causing it to rotate around the rotating shaft 33, thus controlling the circuit. The rotating shaft 33 ensures the button's stability and durability, as its presence reduces potential shaking or displacement during operation, ensuring a tight fit between the trigger block 3 and the panel 2, thereby maintaining the accuracy of the wall switch's operation.
[0029] A mounting shaft 22 is horizontally provided in the center of panel 2. A snap-fit groove 34 adapted to the mounting shaft 22 is provided below the trigger block 3 and the toggle button 31. The trigger block 3 and the toggle button 31 are snapped into panel 2 through the snap-fit groove 34. After snapping, the button can still rotate relative to the trigger block 3. This method of directly snapping the trigger block 3 and the toggle button 31 into panel 2 simplifies the overall installation of the wall switch, thereby simplifying the installation process and making installation easier.
[0030] The dustproof block 41 has a dirt-proof flange 42 at the bottom to prevent operators from accidentally touching the wall, and a dustproof flange 43 at the top. To prevent operators from touching the wall and soiling it while operating the wall switch, the dustproof block 41 has a dirt-proof flange at the bottom. The dustproof flange 43 effectively prevents dust from falling into the wall switch from the top, thus protecting the cleanliness of the wall switch's interior and the safety of the circuitry. The mounting base 1 has mounting holes 5, through which the mounting base 1 can be fixedly connected to the wall.
[0031] This dustproof wall switch consists of a mounting base 1, a panel 2, a trigger block 3, a toggle button 31, and a dustproof mechanism 4. The mounting base 1 is fixed to the wall, and the panel 2 covers the entire mounting base 1, enhancing its support strength and providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance. The trigger block 3 is snapped onto the panel 2. The trigger block 3 has a horizontal mounting hole 32 in its center, through which a rotating shaft 33 is inserted. The rotating shaft 33 is fixedly connected to the toggle button 31, allowing the toggle button 31 to rotate around the rotating shaft 33, thereby controlling the circuit's on / off state. The panel 2 has reinforcing ribs 21 arranged in a grid pattern to distribute and withstand operating pressure, reducing panel 2 deformation. The dustproof mechanism 4 is snapped onto the outside of the trigger block 3, covering the side gaps of the wall switch. It has a dirt-proof flange 42 at the bottom and a dust-proof flange 43 at the top, effectively preventing dust and accidental activation. A horizontal mounting shaft 22 is located in the center of the panel 2, and a snap-fit groove 34, adapted to the mounting shaft 22, is located below the trigger block 3 and the toggle button 31, simplifying the installation process. The mounting base 1 has mounting holes 5 for fixing it to the wall. The entire design provides dust protection for the side gaps of the wall switch, preventing dust from entering the interior of the panel 2, while simplifying the installation process and improving the stability and service life of the wall switch.
[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
