Detailed Implementation

[0029] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0031] Firstly, the combined panel of this utility model embodiment can be used in socket and switch products, and its structure is as follows: Figures 1 to 9As shown, the panel includes a panel body 1, which comprises a metal surface layer 11, a frame 12, and a backing plate 13 arranged sequentially. The metal surface layer 11 covers the upper surface of the frame 12 and may be made of copper sheet. The backing plate 13 is disposed on the lower side of the frame 12 and forms a shield for at least a portion of the lower surface of the frame 13. Preferably, the backing plate 13 can shield more than half of the area of ​​the lower surface of the frame 12. More preferably, the backing plate 13 is arranged to shield the entire lower surface of the frame 13. The lower surface of the frame 12 does not include the portion with the opening 15 described below. The panel is constructed by combining the metal surface layer 11, the frame 12, and the backing plate 13, which can help improve the functionality and aesthetics of the panel. The backing plate 13... Metal materials are preferred (e.g., iron plate for the liner 13), while plastic material is preferred for the face frame 12. Covering the surface of the face frame 12 with a more glossy / aesthetically pleasing metal surface layer 11 enhances the aesthetics of the composite panel, making it look more upscale and beautiful. Moreover, the composite panel can change its appearance by replacing the metal surface layer 11 with different materials / patterns without altering its basic structure, increasing design diversity and enabling personalized customization according to customer needs to meet the decorative requirements of different occasions and styles. The liner 13 strengthens the composite panel and also covers the lower surface of the face frame 12, reducing and avoiding exposure of the lower surface structure (such as holes) of the face frame 12, thus enhancing the overall aesthetics of the composite panel.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the lower surface of the face frame 12 is provided with grid-like protruding ribs 122. The presence of the protruding ribs 122 can save material usage and reduce costs while ensuring the strength of the face frame 12. Moreover, the presence of the protruding ribs 122 will cause holes to appear on the lower surface of the face frame 12. These holes are covered by the backing plate 13, so that the aesthetics of the combined panel are not affected.

[0033] See appendix Figure 4 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, in order to meet the needs of use, the panel body 1 has a through hole 15 in the middle, which is used for the installation of functional modules (such as socket modules and switch modules). The inner periphery of the metal surface layer 11 has a downward inner edge 16, which surrounds the inner periphery of the frame 12. This enhances the coverage of the metal surface layer 11 over the frame 12 and improves the overall integrity and aesthetics of the combined panel.

[0034] Preferably, the inner edge 16 is provided with a buckle 17, which is fastened to the face frame 12. The inner edge of the face frame 12 is provided with a groove 121 that mates with the buckle. The connection between the metal face layer 11 and the face frame 12 is strengthened by the buckle 17 and the groove 121, so that the metal face layer 11 and the face frame 12 fit tightly together. Moreover, the backing plate 13 also covers the mating part of the buckle 17 and the groove 121, making the surface structure of the combined panel simple and beautiful.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the liner 13 has a flange 18 that protrudes inward from the inner edge of the face frame 12. The flange 18 is provided with a mounting hole 181. When the combined panel is fixedly connected to the mounting base box 3, the screw passes through the mounting hole 181 and is fastened to the mounting base box 3. The presence of the flange 18 provides a basis for screw installation and also provides an installation position for the sealing ring 19 below.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the outer periphery of the metal surface layer 11 has a downwardly extending outer edge 14, which surrounds the outer periphery of the frame 12 and the backing plate 13 and is fastened to the backing plate 13. The outer edge 14 on the metal surface layer 11 can wrap the outer periphery of the frame 12 and the backing plate 13, and the fastening method between the outer edge 14 and the frame 13 facilitates the assembly of the combined panel. The outer edge 14 can also cover the gaps between the metal surface layer 11, the frame 12 and the backing plate 13, preventing the gaps from being exposed and affecting the aesthetics and protection, and improving the overall integrity of the combined panel. Moreover, there are no screws installed on the bottom surface of the backing plate 5, making the structure simple and beautiful.

[0037] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in order to improve the sealing and protection, a sealing ring 19 is provided on the upper side of the flange 18. The sealing ring 19 has a clearance hole at the position corresponding to the mounting hole 181. The sealing ring 19 is provided on the flange 18 to cover the gap between the face frame 12 and the metal surface layer 11. Moreover, the functional module that cooperates with the combined panel is in close contact with the sealing ring 19, thereby playing a sealing and protection role and achieving dustproof and waterproof effect. The sealing ring 19 may be a rubber ring or a silicone ring.

[0038] Furthermore, combined with Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, to accommodate the locking of pop-out functional modules (such as the jumper module on a floor socket) in the closed state, the combination panel also includes a button assembly 2. The metal surface layer 11 has a mounting cavity 10 corresponding to the frame 12. The button assembly 2 is installed in the mounting cavity 10, and a backing plate 13 provides a stop and limit from below. The area on the backing plate 13 corresponding to the button assembly 2 (…) Figure 5 The middle section (C) is a closed structure (i.e., without through holes), thus better shielding the button assembly 2 from below through the liner 13. For example, the button assembly 2 includes a button 21 and a locking block 22 connected to the button 21. When the function module is closed, the locking block 22 can engage with the function module to lock it. When the function module needs to be opened, the locking block 22 is controlled by operating the button 21 to separate from the function module and unlock it. In addition, a button panel 23 is covered on the upper side of the button 21 to improve the product's aesthetics. The button panel 23 is preferably made of the same material as the metal surface layer 11 to enhance the uniformity of the combined panel surface style. The button 21 can be a press-type structure or a side-push type structure. To facilitate the control of the button assembly 2, the button panel 23 can be provided with upward-protruding ridges, which can increase the friction between the finger and the button panel 23.

[0039] Secondly, the structure of the ground socket in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows: Figure 10 As shown, it adopts the combination panel of any of the above embodiments; the combination panel is fixed on the mounting box 3, and the functional module 4 is mounted on the combination panel; the ground socket has all the advantages of the combination panel in the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0040] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all embodiments here. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this utility model still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
