Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lighting control boxes, specifically a lighting control box. Background Technology

[0002] A control box is a low-voltage control box that assembles switching equipment, measuring instruments, protective electrical devices, and auxiliary equipment in a closed or semi-closed metal cabinet or panel according to electrical wiring requirements. During normal operation, circuits can be connected or disconnected manually or automatically. In case of faults or abnormal operation, protective electrical devices can disconnect the circuit or trigger an alarm. Measuring instruments can display various operating data parameters, and certain electrical parameters can be adjusted. Deviations from normal operating conditions can be alerted or signaled.

[0003] Chinese utility model CN216357696U describes an exterior wall lighting control box, which features an installation structure. The principle is to install a mounting plate on the back of the control box, fix the mounting plate to the wall, and then use a rotating knob to drive a cam to press an L-shaped rod so that one end of the L-shaped rod is inserted into a slot, connecting the mounting plate to the control box and thus completing the installation of the control box.

[0004] However, in existing devices, the outer surface of the cam is arc-shaped. After the control box is installed, if the spring is accidentally bumped and pushes the L-shaped rod against the cam, the arc-shaped outer wall of the cam may rotate due to the shaking, causing the L-shaped rod to move and disengage from the through hole, affecting the fixing effect. Therefore, a more stable locking mechanism was designed to address the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a lighting control box that is more stable and less prone to detachment after installation.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0029] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this application is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed in this application.

[0031] A control box is a low-voltage control box that assembles switching equipment, measuring instruments, protective electrical devices, and auxiliary equipment in a closed or semi-closed metal cabinet or panel according to electrical wiring requirements. During normal operation, circuits can be connected or disconnected manually or automatically. In case of faults or abnormal operation, protective electrical devices can disconnect the circuit or trigger an alarm. Measuring instruments can display various operating data parameters, and certain electrical parameters can be adjusted. Deviations from normal operating conditions can be alerted or signaled.

[0032] In related technologies, a mounting plate is installed on the back of the control box. This mounting plate is fixed to the wall, and then a rotating knob drives a cam to press an L-shaped rod, causing one end of the L-shaped rod to insert into a slot, connecting the mounting plate to the control box and completing the installation. However, in existing devices, the outer surface of the cam is curved. After the control box is installed, if the spring is accidentally bumped and pushes the L-shaped rod against the cam, the curved outer wall of the cam may rotate due to vibration. This could cause the L-shaped rod to shift, disengaging from the through hole and affecting the fixing effect.

[0033] To address some of the problems in the related technologies, this application provides a lighting control box. When installing the lighting control box housing 11, the mounting plate 12 needs to be fixed to the wall first. Then, the user reaches inside the lighting control box housing 11, grasps the rotating rod 22, and starts to rotate it. As it rotates, the spring 23 contracts, causing the disc 24 to rotate as well. The outer wall of the disc 24 pulls the connecting rod 25 to rotate, pulling the telescopic rod 26 back into the housing 14. The housing 14 is then inserted into the mounting slot 13 on the mounting plate 12. After releasing the rotating rod, the spring 23 rebounds, causing the rotating rod 22 to rotate and the disc 24 to rotate as well. This causes the connecting rod 25 to rotate and pushes the telescopic rod 26 out of the housing 14 and into the positioning slot 21 to complete the installation.

[0034] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0035] Combination Figures 1-4 This application provides a lighting control box, including: a lighting control box housing 11 with a mounting plate 12 on one side; a mounting groove 13 formed inside the lighting control box housing 11; a housing 14 fixedly disposed on the outer side wall of the lighting control box housing 11 and inserted into the mounting groove 13; a rotating assembly 2 disposed inside the housing 14, the rotating assembly 2 including: a positioning groove 21 formed on the inner side wall of the mounting groove 13; a rotating rod 22 with one end passing through the inner side wall of the lighting control box housing 11 and the housing 14, and rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the housing 14; a spring-loaded spring 23 disposed on the outer side wall of the rotating rod 22, and one end fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the housing 14; a disc 24 fixedly sleeved on the outer side wall of the rotating rod 22; a connecting rod 25 disposed on the outer side wall of the disc 24 and rotatably connected to the disc 24; and a telescopic rod 26 with one end inserted into the housing 14 and rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod 25.

[0036] Specifically, the lighting control box housing 11 is a control box, model number Chint NX10-2520 / 14, which controls the lighting equipment by switching the control circuit on and off. The lighting control box uses relay and contactor control methods, enabling branch control of lighting in the factory area or station building, and supports remote-to-local control. The working principle of the lighting control box is based on electromagnetic voltage regulation and electronic induction technology, monitoring and tracking the power supply status in real time, automatically and smoothly adjusting the voltage and current amplitude of the circuit, improving the additional power consumption caused by unbalanced loads in the lighting circuit, increasing the power factor, and reducing the operating temperature of lamps and lines, thereby optimizing the power supply.

[0037] When installing the lighting control box housing 11, first fix the mounting plate 12 to the wall. Then, reach inside the lighting control box housing 11 and grasp the rotating rod 22 to start rotating. As it rotates, the spring 23 will contract, causing the disc 24 to rotate as well. The outer wall of the disc 24 pulls the connecting rod 25 to rotate, pulling the telescopic rod 26 back into the housing 14. Then, insert the housing 14 into the mounting slot 13 on the mounting plate 12 and release the rotating rod. The spring 23 will then rebound, causing the rotating rod 22 to rotate and the disc 24 to rotate as well. This will cause the connecting rod 25 to rotate and push the telescopic rod 26 out of the housing 14 and into the positioning slot 21 to complete the installation.

[0038] In some embodiments, both the mounting groove 13 and the housing 14 are rectangular, and the outer sidewall of the housing 14 fits against the inner sidewall of the mounting groove 13.

[0039] The rectangular design prevents rotation during use, and the fit between the outer wall of the housing 14 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 13 allows the telescopic rod to be aligned with the positioning groove 21.

[0040] In some embodiments, four of the positioning grooves 21, the connecting rods 25, and the telescopic rods 26 are provided.

[0041] The design of the four telescopic rods 26 and the positioning grooves 21 allows for a closer connection and a more secure fixation.

[0042] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 2 further includes a rotary knob 27 disposed at one end of the rotating rod 22.

[0043] The design of the knob 27 makes it easy to grip, and the groove on the knob 27 increases friction, making it less likely to slip when rotating.

[0044] In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 2 further includes: a groove 28 formed on the outer side wall of the disk 24; and a slide rod 29 disposed on the inner side wall of the housing 14, with one end inserted into the groove 28.

[0045] When in use, the slide bar 29 slides inside the slide groove 28 while the disc 24 rotates, which can limit the rotation range of the disc 24 and prevent the telescopic rod 26 from being pulled back completely into the housing 14.

[0046] In some embodiments, a limiting component 3 is provided on the rotary knob 27. The limiting component 3 includes: a hole 31 formed in the inner side wall of the lighting control box housing 11; a plug 32 disposed on one side of the rotary knob 27 and inserted into the interior of the hole 31 at one end; a through groove 33 formed in the outer side wall of the rotating rod 22; and a U-shaped rod 34 slidably disposed in the interior of the through groove 33 and connected at one end to the rotary knob 27.

[0047] When in use, when rotating the rotating rod 22, the knob 27 can be pulled outward to make the U-shaped rod 34 slide inside the through groove 33. At the same time, the knob 27 drives the insertion rod 32 to be pulled out from the inside of the hole 31. Then, continue to rotate the knob 27. After the rotation is finished, push the knob 27 to make the U-shaped rod 34 slide inside the through groove 33 so that the insertion rod 32 is inserted into the inside of the hole 31. This can avoid constantly holding the knob 27 to control the rotation of the rotating rod 22 during disassembly.

[0048] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional diameter of the U-shaped rod 34 is the same as the width of the through groove 33.

[0049] The consistent size design during use ensures that the outer wall of the U-shaped rod 34 fits snugly against the inner wall of the through groove 33 when it slides inside the through groove 33, preventing it from shaking easily.

[0050] In some embodiments, the limiting component 3 further includes a cone 35 disposed at one end of the insert 32.

[0051] The pointed tip of the cone 35 makes it easier to insert into the hole 31 during use.
