Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rain sensor technology, specifically a solar-powered rain sensor. Background Technology

[0002] A rain sensor is a detection device used to detect rainfall. With the development of technology, rain sensors are used in electric window openers to send rain signals to the electric window openers, so that the windows can be closed automatically on rainy days, avoiding the situation where rainwater enters the room if the windows are forgotten to be closed.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical issues, patent publication number CN219016619U discloses a solar rain sensor, which includes an installation assembly comprising a housing and a fixing component. The fixing component has a locking block, and the housing has a locking groove. The locking groove and the locking block are connected by a locking mechanism. The fixing component has a threaded hole. First, a screw is passed through the threaded hole to connect the fixing component to the wall. Then, the housing and the fixing component are connected by the locking groove and the locking block. This method restricts movement in one direction between the housing and the fixing component, but does not restrict movement in the opposite direction, which could lead to the risk of the housing and the fixing component detaching. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is the risk of the shell detaching from the fixing component.

[0005] This utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution: a solar rain sensor, including a housing and a mounting bracket, wherein the housing and the mounting bracket are inserted together and abut against each other in the insertion direction, and a limiting component is provided between the housing and the mounting bracket, wherein the limiting component is used to restrict the housing from moving away from the insertion direction when no external force is applied.

[0006] The technical advantage of this solution is that by setting a limiting component between the housing and the mounting bracket, the housing and the mounting bracket can be restricted on one side without external force, while the other side of the housing and the mounting bracket are restricted by abutment, reducing the risk of the housing and the fastener detaching.

[0007] Furthermore, the limiting component includes an elastic element disposed on the mounting bracket and a limiting element disposed on the housing. Under the action of external force, the elastic element deforms to pass over the limiting element.

[0008] The technical advantage of this solution is that the elastic element allows the housing to deform and pass over the limiting element when the user applies an external force as the housing moves along the insertion direction. This allows the limiting element to lock the position of the elastic element, so that the limiting element restricts the elastic element from moving away from the insertion direction when no external force is applied.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting member includes a vertical wall that extends along the insertion direction.

[0010] The technical advantage of this solution is that the vertical wall allows the elastic element to slide along the vertical wall during housing installation, increasing the sliding distance of the elastic element.

[0011] Furthermore, the limiting member also includes a first wall, one end of which is connected to the first end of the vertical wall along the insertion direction. The first wall is inclined, and when the elastic member moves along the insertion direction, the elastic member abuts against the inclined surface of the first wall.

[0012] The technical advantage of this solution is that by setting the first wall at an angle and connecting it to the first end of the vertical wall in the insertion direction, the elastic element can slide more smoothly into the vertical wall under external force. This also makes it easier for users to install the housing onto the mounting bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting member also includes a second wall, one end of which is connected to the tail end of the vertical wall along the insertion direction. The first wall is inclined, and when the elastic member moves away from the insertion direction, the elastic member abuts against the inclined surface of the first wall.

[0014] The technical advantage of this solution is that by setting the second wall at an angle and connecting it to the end of the vertical wall in the insertion direction, the elastic element can slide more smoothly into the vertical wall under external force. It also makes it easier for users to disassemble the housing from the mounting bracket.

[0015] Furthermore, the elastic element includes two inclined spring walls, one end of which is connected to each other to form a protrusion, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket.

[0016] The technical advantage of this solution is that one end of the two inclined projectile walls is connected to each other, which prevents the deformation and failure of a single inclined projectile wall compared to using only one inclined projectile wall.

[0017] Furthermore, there are two limiting members, and the line connecting the two limiting members is perpendicular to the insertion direction.

[0018] The technical advantage of this solution is that the line connecting the two limiting components is perpendicular to the insertion direction, which can ensure the balance and symmetry of the upper limiting components on the housing.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes at least one first abutment member disposed on the housing, and the mounting bracket is provided with a second abutment member that abuts against the first abutment member.

[0020] The technical advantage of this solution is that, by setting the first and second abutting parts, the movement of one side between the mounting bracket and the housing can be positioned by abutting, so that the mounting bracket and the housing can be inserted and abutted together along the insertion direction.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a first block disposed on the housing, the first block having a first slot; and a first locking block disposed on the mounting bracket, the first locking block and the first slot being inserted into each other and the first block abutting against the mounting bracket.

[0022] The technical advantage of this solution is that the first card block and the first card slot can be inserted to position the housing and the mounting bracket.

[0023] Based on common knowledge in the field, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be combined arbitrarily to obtain various preferred embodiments of this utility model. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. 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.

[0036] It should be noted that in the claims and specification of this patent, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0037] This utility model discloses a solar-powered rain sensor, such as... Figure 1-10 As shown, it includes a housing 200 and a mounting bracket 100. The housing 200 and the mounting bracket 100 are inserted into each other and abut against each other in the insertion direction. A limit component is provided between the housing 200 and the mounting bracket 100. Under the action of no external force, the limit component is used to restrict the housing 200 from moving away from the insertion direction.

[0038] In this application, the housing 200 and the mounting bracket 100 are connected by a plug-in connection. As those skilled in the art will know, the mounting bracket 100 is fixed to the wall 960 by screws, adhesive, or other means. Figure 4 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, the mounting bracket 100 has multiple oblong holes 950 for screws to pass through. Then, the housing 200 is snapped into the mounting bracket 100 along the insertion direction.

[0039] In one embodiment, the insertion direction is set from top to bottom, and the lower side of the housing 200 abuts against the lower side of the mounting bracket 100 when the housing 200 moves into place along the insertion direction, while the upward movement tendency of the housing 200 is limited by the limiting component.

[0040] In another embodiment, the insertion direction is set from left to right, and the right side of the housing 200 abuts against the right side of the mounting bracket 100 when the housing 200 moves into place along the insertion direction, while the tendency of the housing 200 to move to the left is limited by the limiting component.

[0041] The limiting component can consist of one magnetic element and one iron element, or two magnetic elements, achieving limiting through the attraction of the magnetic element and the iron element, or the two magnetic elements. The limiting component provided between the housing 200 and the mounting bracket 100, under the action of no external force, is used to limit the movement of the housing 200 away from the insertion direction, preventing the risk of the housing 200 detaching from the fixing member 100 due to the lack of fixation on the side of the mounting bracket 100 and the housing 200 away from the insertion direction.

[0042] One magnetic component is placed on the housing 200, and another magnetic or iron component is placed on the mounting bracket 100, or the positions of the magnetic component and the iron component are interchanged.

[0043] When disassembly is required, the user moves the housing 200 away from the insertion direction and, under the action of external thrust, releases the restriction of the limiting component on the side of the housing 200 and the mounting bracket 100 away from the insertion direction.

[0044] Preferably, consistent with the prior art, the housing 200 is provided with a solar panel 300 and a rain sensor 400, and the solar panel 300 and the rain sensor 400 are arranged at an angle.

[0045] Specifically, the limiting component includes an elastic element 710 disposed on the mounting bracket 100 and a limiting element 800 disposed on the housing 200. Under the action of external force, the elastic element 710 deforms to pass over the limiting element 800.

[0046] The limiting component in this application preferably includes a limiting member 800 and an elastic member 710. In this embodiment, the elastic member 710 is disposed on the mounting bracket 100, and the limiting member 800 is disposed on the housing 200. When the housing 200 is inserted into the mounting bracket 100 along the insertion direction from top to bottom, under the action of the user's external pushing force, the elastic member 710 deforms past the limiting member 800 and resets after passing the limiting member 800, so that the elastic member 710 and the limiting member 800 engage, thereby limiting the upward movement tendency of the housing 200 relative to the mounting bracket 100. At the same time, the housing 200 abuts against the lower side of the mounting bracket 100 along the insertion direction, thereby limiting the downward movement tendency of the housing 200 relative to the mounting bracket 100. This can fix both the upper and lower sides of the mounting bracket 100 and the housing 200, preventing the risk of the housing 200 and the mounting bracket 100 detaching due to the upper side of the mounting bracket 100 not being fixed.

[0047] The limiting member 800 may be a transverse wall, which is set perpendicular to the insertion direction.

[0048] As will be known to those skilled in the art, in another embodiment, the limiting member 800 is disposed on the mounting bracket 100, and the elastic member 710 is disposed on the housing 200.

[0049] Specifically, the limiting member 800 includes a vertical wall 830 that extends along the insertion direction.

[0050] By providing a vertical wall 830 that extends along the insertion direction, the elastic member 710 slides along the vertical wall 830 to increase the sliding distance of the elastic member 710.

[0051] Specifically, the limiting member 800 also includes a first wall 810, one end of which is connected to the first end of the vertical wall 830 along the insertion direction. The first wall 810 is inclined, and when the elastic member 710 moves along the insertion direction, the elastic member 710 abuts against the inclined surface of the first wall 810.

[0052] Preferably, the elastic element 710 abuts against the inclined surface of the first wall 810, so that it can slide into the vertical wall 830 through the first wall 810 during the user's installation process. The inclined setting of the first wall 810 allows the user to slide the elastic element 710 into the vertical wall 830 relatively smoothly. When the elastic element 710 slides to the first end of the vertical wall 830, after the user has completed the installation, the side of the first end of the vertical wall 830 away from the abutting surface of the vertical wall 830 and the elastic element 710 is used to restrict the elastic element 710, so that the elastic element 710 will not move away from the insertion direction without the action of external force.

[0053] Preferably, such as Figure 5As shown, the first wall 810 is inclined upwards from the middle of the housing 200 towards both sides of the housing 200. The upper end of the first wall 810 is connected to the first end of the vertical wall 830, and the insertion direction is downward. Therefore, under the action of external force, the elastic member 710 passes over the upper end of the first wall 810 and slides into the vertical wall 830.

[0054] Specifically, the limiting member 800 also includes a second wall 820, one end of which is connected to the tail end of the vertical wall 830 along the insertion direction. The first wall 810 is inclined, and when the elastic member 710 moves away from the insertion direction, the elastic member 710 abuts against the inclined surface of the first wall 810.

[0055] Preferably, the limiting member 800 further includes a second wall 820. When the housing 200 needs to be disassembled, the user applies an external pushing force to move the housing 200 away from the insertion direction, so that the elastic member 710 contacts the inclined surface of the second wall 820, directly deforms, and slides into the vertical wall 830. Similarly, the inclined arrangement of the second wall 820 allows the user to smoothly slide the elastic member 710 from the second wall 820 into the vertical wall 830.

[0056] Preferably, the first wall 810, the vertical wall 830, and the second wall 820 are directly connected and integrally formed on the shell 200.

[0057] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second wall 820 is inclined downwards from the middle of the housing 200 towards both sides of the housing 200.

[0058] Preferably, the first wall 810 and the second wall 820 are symmetrically arranged along the vertical line of the vertical wall 830.

[0059] The vertical lines of the first wall 810 and the second wall 820 are symmetrically arranged to facilitate processing and manufacturing.

[0060] Specifically, the elastic element 710 includes two inclined spring walls 711, one end of which is connected to each other to form a protrusion, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 100.

[0061] Among them, elastic element 710, such as Figure 4 , 6 As shown, it is integrally formed by two inclined spring walls 711, with one end of the two inclined spring walls 711 connected to each other, and the other ends of the two inclined spring walls 711 respectively fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 100. Compared with only one inclined spring wall 711, where one end of the inclined spring wall 711 is connected to the mounting bracket 100 and the other end is suspended, the inclined spring wall 711 may deform and fail; the setting of two inclined spring walls 711 can avoid this situation.

[0062] Specifically, there are two limiters 800, and the line connecting the two limiters 800 is perpendicular to the insertion direction.

[0063] The line connecting the two limiting members 800 is perpendicular to the insertion direction, which ensures the balance and symmetry of the upper limiting member 800 on the housing 200. Both limiting members 800 are integrally formed on the housing 200.

[0064] Specifically, the mounting bracket 100 is provided with an opening groove 700 for the insertion of the limiting member 800, and the elastic member 710 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 100 at the position of the opening groove 700.

[0065] The opening groove 700 allows the limiting member 800 to extend into the opening groove 700 so that the limiting member 800 abuts against the elastic member 710. When there are two elastic members 710, there are also two opening grooves 700, and the opening grooves 700 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the mounting bracket 100, which is parallel to the insertion direction.

[0066] Specifically, the mounting bracket 100 is provided with at least one guide block 610, and the housing 200 is also provided with at least one fixing block 620. The fixing block 620 is provided with a guide groove 630, and the guide block 610 is slidably connected in the guide groove 630.

[0067] Preferably, the housing 200 is provided with a plurality of fixing blocks 620, such as Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, the mounting bracket 100 is provided with a plurality of corresponding guide blocks 610 so that each guide block 610 and the corresponding fixing block 620 cooperate, and the fixing block 620 is L-shaped in whole.

[0068] As will be known to those skilled in the art, in another embodiment, the guide block 610 is disposed on the housing 200, and the fixing block 620 is disposed on the mounting bracket 100.

[0069] Specifically, the mounting bracket 100 is provided with a sliding groove 600, and the fixing block 620 extends into the sliding groove 600 to cooperate with the guide block 610.

[0070] The mounting bracket 100 is provided with a groove 600 so that the fixing block 620 can extend into the groove 600. Figure 2 , 4 As shown in Figure 6, there is a gap in the thickness direction between the guide block 610 and the slide 600 so that they can cooperate with the fixing block 620.

[0071] Specifically, it also includes a first block 520 disposed on the housing 200, the first block 520 having a first slot 510; it also includes a first locking block 500 disposed on the mounting bracket 100, the first locking block 500 and the first slot 510 being inserted into each other and the first block 520 abutting against the mounting bracket 100.

[0072] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, a first block 520 is integrally formed on the housing 200. A first slot 510 is disposed on the first block 520, and the first block 520 abuts against the mounting bracket 100. Since the first block 520 is integrally formed on the housing 200, after the housing 200 is mounted on the mounting bracket 100, Figure 5 The first block 520 located on the upper side abuts against the upper side of the mounting bracket 100, ensuring that the housing 200 abuts against the mounting bracket 100 along the insertion direction after it is installed in place, thus ensuring stability after installation. Therefore, the insertion and cooperation of the first slot 510 and the first block 500 facilitates the connection between the mounting bracket 100 and the housing 200.

[0073] The first block 520 and the first locking block 500 are integrally formed on the housing 200 and the mounting bracket 100, respectively, which improves the overall strength of the housing 200 and the mounting bracket 100.

[0074] Preferably, such as Figure 4 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, there are two first blocks 520 and two first locking blocks 500. At this time, one first block 520 is set on the upper side of the housing 200, and the corresponding first locking block 500 is set on the upper side of the mounting bracket 100; one first locking block 500 is set on the lower side of the housing 200, and the corresponding first block 520 is set on the lower side of the mounting bracket 100. The positioning of the housing 200 and the mounting bracket 100 is achieved by inserting two pairs of first locking blocks 500 and first locking slots 510.

[0075] Specifically, it also includes at least one first abutment 900 disposed on the housing 200, and a second abutment 910 disposed on the mounting bracket 100 to abut against the first abutment 900.

[0076] The first abutment 900 is provided with a vertical abutment body, and the second abutment 910 is also provided with a vertical abutment body. The two abutment surfaces of the two vertical abutment bodies abut against each other, so that the housing 200 and the mounting bracket 100 are abutted against each other in the insertion direction. Preferably, there are two of each of the first abutment 900 and the second abutment 910. In order to increase the strength of the first abutment 900 and the second abutment 910, the first abutment 900 is integrally formed on the housing 200, and the second abutment 910 is integrally formed on the mounting bracket 100. In addition, the vertical abutment bodies are also integrally formed with inclined bodies to increase strength, so that the first abutment 900 and the second abutment 910 will not easily break.

[0077] Specifically, the housing 200 includes a bottom cover 210 and a main housing 220, which are detachably connected.

[0078] The housing 200 includes a bottom cover 210 and a main housing 220. The bottom cover 210 and the main housing 220 are detachably connected so that the bottom cover 210 and the main housing 220 can be manufactured separately, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of components inside the housing 200. The bottom cover 210 and the main housing 220 are fixedly connected by screws and other connectors.

[0079] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a second block 940 is integrally formed on the main shell 220, and a second slot 930 is provided on the second block 940. A second block 920 is integrally formed on the bottom cover 210. The bottom cover 210 and the main shell 220 are assembled and connected by the cooperation of the second slot 930 and the second block 920.

[0080] The cooperation method of the second card slot 930 and the second card block 920 is the same as that of the first card slot 510 and the second card block 920 mentioned above, and will not be described in detail here.

[0081] In another embodiment, the positions of the second locking block 920 and the second block 940 can be interchanged, that is, the second locking block 920 is disposed on the main shell 220 and the second block 940 is disposed on the bottom cover 210.

[0082] The bottom cover 210 includes a flat plate 2101. In one embodiment, the flat plate 2101 is located inside the main shell 220, which can reduce the overall height and material usage. In another embodiment, the flat plate 2101 is located outside the main shell 220.
