Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of low-voltage electrical apparatus, and in particular to a button switch and a power strip. BACKGROUND

[0002] The button switch is usually electrically connected between a power supply line and an electrical device, which can be a power strip, a contactor, a relay, etc. The present application takes the electrical device as a power strip for example. The button switch can be in an on state or an off state. When the button switch is in the on state, the power strip is electrically connected to the power supply line, and there is current flowing through the power strip. When the button switch is in the off state, the power strip is disconnected from the power supply line, and there is no current flowing through the power strip.

[0003] Based on the structure of the existing button switch, it is easy to cause inconvenience in connecting the button switch to the power supply line. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] The present application provides a button switch and a power strip. According to the button switch provided in the present application, the electrical connection between the button switch and the power supply line is facilitated, and the efficiency of connecting the power strip to the power supply line is improved.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a button switch. The button switch is applied to a power strip, and the power strip includes a conductive structure. The button switch includes a button and a plurality of terminal connectors. The plurality of terminal connectors are electrically connected to the conductive structure. The plurality of terminal connectors include a zero line terminal connector, a live line terminal connector, and a ground line terminal connector. The button is electrically connected between the live line terminal connector and the conductive structure, and the button can cut off the electrical connection between the live line terminal connector and the conductive structure. Along the arrangement direction of the plurality of terminal connectors, the zero line terminal connector, the live line terminal connector, and the ground line terminal connector are arranged along a straight line.

[0006] In the present application, the electrical connection state between the terminal connector and the conductive structure can be controlled by the button. The zero line terminal connector, the live line terminal connector, and the ground line terminal connector are arranged along a straight line, so that the distribution positions of the plurality of terminal connectors are relatively clear, which facilitates the operator to distinguish the terminal connectors and reduces the possibility of misconnection between different terminal connectors and corresponding power supply lines.

[0007] In addition, the plurality of terminal connectors are arranged along a straight line, which facilitates the automatic equipment to identify and position different terminal connectors, and thus facilitates the automatic connection and improves the connection efficiency.

[0008] In some possible implementation manners, the terminal connector includes a terminal frame and a terminal pin. The terminal pin includes a first terminal segment and a second terminal segment connected to each other. The first terminal segment is electrically connected to the conductive structure, and the second terminal segment is arranged in the terminal frame and is electrically connected to the power supply line.

[0009] In the example of the present application, the second wiring segment is arranged in the wiring frame, and the second wiring segment and the wiring frame can clamp the power supply wire to realize the electrical connection between the power supply wire and the second wiring segment. Since the first wiring segment is electrically connected with the conductive structure, and the first wiring segment and the second wiring segment both belong to the terminal pin, the electrical connection between the power supply wire and the conductive structure can be realized through the first wiring segment and the second wiring segment.

[0010] In some possible implementation manners, the terminal pin includes a zero line terminal pin, a fire line terminal pin, and a ground line terminal pin, and the button can cut off the electrical connection between the fire line terminal pin and the conductive structure.

[0011] In the arrangement direction of the plurality of terminal pins, the zero line terminal pin, the fire line terminal pin, and the ground line terminal pin are arranged along a straight line, and the second wiring segment of the zero line terminal pin, the second wiring segment of the fire line terminal pin, and the second wiring segment of the ground line terminal pin are substantially located in the same plane.

[0012] In the example of the present application, the electrical connection state between the fire line terminal pin and the fire line conductive strip can be controlled through the button. The zero line terminal pin, the fire line terminal pin, and the ground line terminal pin are arranged along a straight line, so that the distribution positions of the plurality of terminal pins are relatively clear, and the different terminal pins are easy to be distinguished by the operator, thereby reducing the possibility of misconnection between the different terminal pins and the corresponding power supply wire.

[0013] The plurality of terminal pins arranged along a straight line also facilitates the identification and positioning of different terminal pins by the automatic equipment, thereby facilitating the automatic wiring and improving the wiring efficiency.

[0014] The second wiring segment of the zero line terminal pin, the second wiring segment of the fire line terminal pin, and the second wiring segment of the ground line terminal pin are substantially located in the same plane, which can avoid the adjustment of the parameters of the automatic equipment for multiple times in the automatic wiring, improve the efficiency of the automatic wiring, ensure the wiring reliability of the terminal pin and the power supply wire, and further ensure the use reliability of the power strip.

[0015] In some possible implementation manners, the terminal pin includes a first limiting protrusion, the first limiting protrusion is arranged at one end of the second wiring segment close to the first wiring segment, and the first limiting protrusion can be clamped to the frame wall of the wiring frame close to the conductive structure.

[0016] In the case where the terminal pin cooperates with the wiring frame, the first limiting protrusion can abut to the frame wall of the wiring frame facing the conductive structure, so as to limit the relative position of the terminal pin and the wiring frame, thereby reducing the amplitude of the shaking of the terminal pin relative to the wiring frame.

[0017] In some possible implementation manners, the terminal pin comprises a second limiting protrusion and / or a third limiting protrusion, the second limiting protrusion is arranged at one end of the second wiring segment away from the first wiring segment, and the second limiting protrusion is capable of being clamped to the frame wall of the wiring frame away from the conductive structure. The third limiting protrusion is capable of being clamped to the inner wall of the wiring frame.

[0018] In the case where the terminal pin is matched with the wiring frame, the second limiting protrusion can abut to the frame wall of the wiring frame away from the conductive structure, further limiting the relative position of the terminal pin and the wiring frame, and thereby reducing the amplitude of the shaking of the terminal pin relative to the wiring frame.

[0019] In the case where the terminal pin is matched with the wiring frame, the third limiting protrusion can abut to the frame wall of the wiring frame facing the conductive structure, further limiting the relative position of the terminal pin and the wiring frame, and thereby reducing the amplitude of the shaking of the terminal pin relative to the wiring frame.

[0020] In some possible implementation manners, the button switch further comprises a mounting seat, and the mounting seat is provided with a clamping groove capable of clamping the terminal pin.

[0021] By arranging the clamping groove on the mounting seat and clamping the terminal pin, the amplitude of the shaking of the terminal pin can be reduced, and thereby the use reliability of the button switch is ensured.

[0022] In some possible implementation manners, the button switch further comprises an indicating lamp, the indicating lamp is electrically connected with the conductive structure, and the indicating lamp comprises a first state and a second state, the first state is used for indicating that there is current passing through the conductive structure, and the second state is used for indicating that there is no current passing through the conductive structure.

[0023] In the examples of the present application, the different states of the indicating lamp can indicate whether there is current passing through the conductive structure, and thereby the operator can know the current state in the conductive structure, and the use reliability and safety of the power strip are ensured.

[0024] In a second aspect, the present application provides a power strip, the power strip comprising a shell and a button switch as in the above first aspect and possible implementation manners of the first aspect.

[0025] The button switch mentioned in the examples of the present application can have the beneficial effects as described in the above first aspect and possible implementation manners of the first aspect, and will not be described herein again.

[0026] In some possible implementation manners, the button switch comprises a first button switch and a second button switch, the first button switch is mounted on the shell, or the second button switch is mounted on the shell.

[0027] The first button switch comprises a first button and a first wiring terminal, and the distance between the center line of the first button and the center line of the first wiring terminal is a first center distance.

[0028] The second button switch comprises a second button, a second wiring terminal and a first overload unit, the first overload unit is electrically connected with the second button and the second wiring terminal, a distance between a center line of the second button and a center line of the second wiring terminal is a second center distance, and the second center distance is equal to the first center distance.

[0029] In the examples of the present application, the first center distance is equal to the second center distance, so that the first button switch and the second button switch can be installed in the same specification shell. Since the second button switch comprises the first overload unit, during use of the power strip, the operator can select the second button switch comprising the first overload unit or the first button switch not comprising the first overload unit according to the use requirement, so as to expand the use scenario of the power strip, improve the applicability of the power strip, and reduce the manufacturing cost of the power strip.

[0030] In some possible implementation manners, the first center distance is greater than or equal to a first threshold value and less than or equal to a second threshold value. The second center distance is greater than or equal to the first threshold value and less than or equal to the second threshold value.

[0031] In the examples of the present application, by setting the first center distance in the range of the first threshold value to the second threshold value and the second center distance in the range of the first threshold value to the second threshold value, the first button switch and the second button switch can be installed in a certain specification shell, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the socket.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the example of the present application more clear, the technical scheme of the example of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the example of the present application. Obviously, the described example is a part of the examples of the present application, but not all the examples. Based on the example in the present application, all the other examples obtained by the person of ordinary skill in the art without making creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0044] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs; the terminology used in the specification of the present application is only for the purpose of describing the specific examples and is not intended to limit the present application; the terms “comprise” and “have” and any variation thereof in the specification and claims of the present application and the drawing description are intended to cover the non-exclusive inclusion.

[0045] Reference herein to “example” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the example can be included in at least one example of the present application. The appearance of the phrase “example” in various places in the specification does not necessarily all refer to the same example, nor is it necessarily mutually exclusive of other examples. It is explicitly and implicitly contemplated that the examples described herein can be combined with other examples.

[0046] The term "and / or", merely describes an associated relationship between associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which means that there are A, A and B, and B. In addition, the character " / " in this paper generally represents that the front and rear associated objects are an "or" relationship.

[0047] The orientation words appearing in the following description are the directions shown in the drawings, and do not limit the specific structure of the button switch of the application.

[0048] In addition, the terms "first", "second" and the like in the description and claims of the application or the above drawings are used to distinguish different objects, and are not used to describe a specific order, which can be explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0049] In the description of the application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more (including two), and similarly, "a plurality of groups" means two or more groups (including two groups).

[0050] In the description of the application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection" and "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, the "connection" or "connection" of mechanical structure can mean physical connection, for example, the physical connection can be fixed connection, for example, fixed connection by spacer, for example, fixed connection by screw, bolt or other spacer; the physical connection can also be detachable connection, for example, mutual clamping or clamping connection; the physical connection can also be integrally connected, for example, welding, bonding or integrally formed connection. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0051] The button switch is usually electrically connected between the power supply line and the electrical equipment. Taking the power strip as an example, the button switch can be in an on state or an off state. In the case that the button switch is in the on state, the power strip is electrically connected with the power supply line, and there is current in the power strip. In the case that the button switch is in the off state, the power strip is disconnected with the power supply line, and there is no current in the power strip.

[0052] The power supply line generally includes a zero line, a fire line and a ground line. The button switch usually has a plurality of terminal connectors to realize the electrical connection between the button switch and the power supply line.

[0053] In the prior art, the plurality of terminal connectors are distributed randomly, which requires the operator to distinguish the terminal connectors during the wiring process, and then to electrically connect the terminal connectors with the power supply line. Moreover, due to the random distribution of the terminal connectors, the electrical connection between the terminal connectors and the power supply line is low in efficiency.

[0054] Based on the above, the examples of the present application provide a button switch and a power strip.

[0055] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the button switch and the power strip provided by the examples of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] Exemplarily, the examples of the present application provide a power strip, which can include a shell and a button switch.

[0057] The button switch can include a button and a terminal.

[0058] The shell can be made of an insulating material, such as polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate (also known as PC plastic), etc.

[0059] The shell made of an insulating material can reduce the possibility of current escaping from the inside of the shell to the outside of the shell, ensuring the safety of the use of the power strip.

[0060] The shell can include a first mounting cavity and a second mounting cavity, the first mounting cavity mounting the button, and the second mounting cavity mounting the terminal. The shell is also provided with a mounting hole, which is in communication with the first mounting cavity, and part of the button can extend out of the shell from the mounting hole, so as to facilitate the operator to apply force to the button and switch the use state of the button switch.

[0061] The specific structure of the button switch can be seen in the relevant description below.

[0062] Figure 1 A structure schematic view of a first button switch provided by the examples of the present application in a first perspective, Figure 2 A structure schematic view of a first button switch provided by the examples of the present application in a second perspective, Figure 3 A structure schematic view of a second button switch provided by the examples of the present application in a first perspective, Figure 4 A structure schematic view of a second button switch provided by the examples of the present application in a second perspective.

[0063] Based on the power strip provided by the above examples, please refer to Figures 1-4 , the button switch can include a first button switch 100 and a second button switch 200, the first button switch 100 is mounted on the shell, or the second button switch 200 is mounted on the shell.

[0064] The first button switch 100 includes a first button 110 and a first terminal 120, and the distance between the center line of the first button 110 and the center line of the first terminal 120 is a first center distance A1.

[0065] The second button switch 200 includes a second button 210, a second terminal 220 and a first overload unit, the first overload unit is electrically connected with the second button 210 and the second terminal 220, and the distance between the center line of the second button 210 and the center line of the second terminal 220 is a second center distance A2, which is equal to the first center distance A1.

[0066] The center line of the first terminal 120 is parallel to the center line of the first button 110, and the center line of the first terminal 120 is perpendicular to the center line of the power strip.

[0067] The center line of the second terminal 220 is parallel to the center line of the second button 210, and the center line of the second terminal 220 is perpendicular to the center line of the power strip.

[0068] By setting the second center distance A2 equal to the first center distance A1, it can be ensured that the first terminal 120 can be in the second mounting cavity when the first button 110 protrudes from the mounting hole to the shell, or it can be ensured that the second terminal 220 can be in the second mounting cavity when the second button 210 protrudes from the mounting hole to the shell, thereby allowing either the first button switch 100 or the second button switch 200 to be installed in the shell, ensuring the versatility of the shell between the first button switch 100 and the second button switch 200.

[0069] Along the active direction of the second button 210, the first overload unit can be mounted to the side of the second button 210 facing the bottom wall of the shell, and part of the first overload unit is arranged between the center line of the second button 210 and the center line of the second terminal 220.

[0070] The specific structure of the first button switch 100 and the second button switch 200 can be seen from the related description below, and the examples of the present application are not described here.

[0071] In the examples of the present application, setting the first center distance A1 equal to the second center distance A2 allows the first button switch 100 and the second button switch 200 to be installed in the same size shell. The second button switch 200 includes a first overload unit, and during use of the power strip, the operator can select the second button switch 200 including the first overload unit or the first button switch 100 not including the first overload unit according to the use demand, so as to expand the use scene of the power strip, improve the applicability of the power strip, and reduce the manufacturing cost of the power strip.

[0072] Based on the power strip provided in the above examples, the first center distance A1 is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, and the first center distance A1 is less than or equal to a second threshold value. The second center distance A2 is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, and the second center distance A2 is less than or equal to the second threshold value.

[0073] The first threshold value can refer to 12.5 millimeters or other values. The second threshold value can refer to 14.5 millimeters or other values.

[0074] By setting the first threshold value to 12.5 millimeters and the second threshold value to 14.5 millimeters, the first button switch 100 and the second button switch 200 can be installed in most of the housings on the market, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the housing.

[0075] The above-mentioned 12.5 millimeters and 14.5 millimeters are values calculated based on the specifications of existing buttons on the market.

[0076] The specific values of the first threshold value and the second threshold value can be adaptively adjusted according to different button specifications, and the specific values corresponding to the first threshold value and the second threshold value are not limited in the examples of the present application.

[0077] In the examples of the present application, by setting the first center distance A1 in the range of the first threshold value to the second threshold value and the second center distance A2 in the range of the first threshold value to the second threshold value, the first button switch 100 and the second button switch 200 can be installed in housings within a certain specification range, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the socket.

[0078] In addition, in the examples of the present application, since the first overload unit is arranged between the center line of the second button 210 and the center line of the second wiring terminal 220, by setting the second center distance A2 to be greater than the first threshold value, the area of the first overload unit can be ensured to be within a certain specification, thereby reducing the possibility that the area of the first overload unit is too small to affect the overload performance of the second button switch 200.

[0079] Based on the power strip provided in the above examples, Figure 5 a structural schematic diagram of a third button switch provided in the examples of the present application, Figure 6 a structural schematic diagram of a fourth button switch provided in the examples of the present application, please refer to Figures 1-6 The power strip can further include a third button switch 300 and a fourth button switch 400.

[0080] The third button switch 300 can include a third button 310 and a first wiring pin 320. The third button switch 300 can be electrically connected to the power supply wire and the conductive structure through the first wiring pin 320.

[0081] The fourth button switch 400 can include a fourth button 410, a second overload unit, and a second wiring pin 420. The second overload unit is electrically connected to the fourth button 410 and the second wiring pin 420. The fourth button switch 400 can be electrically connected to the power supply wire through the second wiring pin 420. The installation position of the second overload unit is similar to that of the first overload unit, which will not be described in detail in the examples of the present application.

[0082] The first button 110, the second button 210, the third button 310, and the fourth button 410 are of the same size, so that the first button 110, the second button 210, the third button 310, and the fourth button 410 can protrude out of the mounting hole of the same shell and realize electrical connection of the corresponding different button switches with the power supply line.

[0083] In the examples of the present application, by setting the first button 110, the second button 210, the third button 310, and the fourth button 410 to be of the same size, the first button switch 100, the second button switch 200, the third button switch 300, and the fourth button switch 400 can be installed in the same size shell. Since the specific structures of the first button switch 100, the second button switch 200, the third button switch 300, and the fourth button switch 400 are different, they can be applied to different scenarios and meet different customer needs. Therefore, the power strip provided in the examples of the present application can further expand the use scenarios of the power strip, improve the applicability of the power strip, and reduce the manufacturing cost of the power strip.

[0084] The power strip provided in the examples of the present application can include at least one of the first button switch 100, the second button switch 200, the third button switch 300, and the fourth button switch 400.

[0085] The first button switch 100 and the second button switch 200 are similar in structure. Next, only the first button switch 100 (hereinafter referred to as the button switch 500) will be taken as an example to describe the specific structure of the first button switch 100 and the second button switch 200.

[0086] For example, Figure 7 For the structure diagram of the button switch provided in the examples of the present application, please refer to Figure 7 The button switch 500 provided in the examples of the present application is applied to a power strip, and the power strip includes a conductive structure. The button switch 500 includes a button 510 and a plurality of terminal connectors 520. The plurality of terminal connectors 520 are electrically connected to the conductive structure. The plurality of terminal connectors 520 include a zero line terminal connector 521, a live line terminal connector 522, and a ground line terminal connector 523. The button 510 is electrically connected between the live line terminal connector 522 and the conductive structure, and the button 510 can cut off the electrical connection between the live line terminal connector 522 and the conductive structure. Along the arrangement direction of the plurality of terminal connectors 520, the zero line terminal connector 521, the live line terminal connector 522, and the ground line terminal connector 523 are arranged in a straight line.

[0087] The power strip can include a shell, and the conductive structure is installed in the shell. The shell can reduce the possibility of current flowing through the conductive structure escaping to the outside of the shell, thereby ensuring the safety of the power strip.

[0088] The conductive structure can include a zero line conductive strip, a fire line conductive strip and a ground line conductive strip which are electrically connected.

[0089] The zero line conductive strip can be electrically connected with the zero line in the power supply line through the zero line terminal 521, the fire line conductive strip can be electrically connected with the fire line in the power supply line through the fire line terminal 522, and the ground line conductive strip can be electrically connected with the ground line in the power supply line through the ground line terminal 523, so as to realize the electrical connection between the conductive structure and the power supply line.

[0090] The button 510 can be connected between the fire line terminal 522 and the fire line conductive strip.

[0091] The button 510 can be in a first position and a second position. When the button 510 is in the first position, the button 510 can apply a force to the fire line terminal 522 to drive the fire line terminal 522 to contact the fire line conductive strip, so as to realize the electrical connection between the fire line terminal 522 and the fire line conductive strip, and enable the current to flow through the fire line terminal 522 and the fire line conductive strip. At this time, the power supply line can provide power for the electric appliance through the socket strip. The electric appliance includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a computer and a rice cooker.

[0092] When the button 510 is in the second position, the button 510 is separated from the fire line terminal 522, the force applied by the button 510 to the fire line terminal 522 is removed, the fire line terminal 522 is separated from the fire line conductive strip, and the current cannot reach the fire line conductive strip through the fire line terminal 522. At this time, the power supply line cannot provide power for the electric appliance through the socket strip.

[0093] Along the arrangement direction of the plurality of terminal 520, the zero line terminal 521, the fire line terminal 522 and the ground line terminal 523 are arranged along a straight line.

[0094] Along the arrangement direction of the plurality of terminal 520, the distance difference between any two of the center line of the zero line terminal 521, the center line of the fire line terminal 522 and the center line of the ground line terminal 523 is less than 2mm, that is, the zero line terminal 521, the fire line terminal 522 and the ground line terminal 523 are arranged along a straight line.

[0095] There can be various arrangement modes of the plurality of terminal 520. For example, the fire line terminal 522 can be arranged between the zero line terminal 521 and the ground line terminal 523. Alternatively, the zero line terminal 521 can be arranged between the fire line terminal 522 and the ground line terminal 523. Alternatively, the ground line terminal 523 can be arranged between the zero line terminal 521 and the fire line terminal 522.

[0096] The arrangement of the plurality of terminal 520 mainly depends on the arrangement of the zero line conductive strip, the fire line conductive strip and the ground line conductive strip in the shell, and the terminal 520 can be electrically connected with the corresponding conductive strip, and the application example does not make specific limitation.

[0097] In the application example, the electrical connection state of the terminal 520 and the conductive structure can be controlled through the button 510. The zero line terminal 521, the fire line terminal 522 and the ground line terminal 523 are arranged in a straight line, so that the distribution position of the plurality of terminals 520 is more clear, and the operator can distinguish the terminal 520, and the possibility of misconnection of different terminals 520 and corresponding power lines is reduced.

[0098] In addition, the plurality of terminals 520 are arranged in a straight line, which is convenient for automatic equipment to identify and position different terminals 520, and then automatic wiring is realized, and the wiring efficiency is improved.

[0099] Based on the button switch 500 provided in the above example, Figure 8 For the structure diagram of the terminal pin provided in the application example, please refer to Figure 8 The terminal 520 can include a terminal frame and a terminal pin 524. The terminal pin 524 can include a first terminal segment 5241 and a second terminal segment 5242 connected with each other, the first terminal segment 5241 is electrically connected with the conductive structure, and the second terminal segment 5242 is arranged in the terminal frame, and the second terminal segment 5242 is electrically connected with the power line.

[0100] The first terminal segment 5241 and the second terminal segment 5242 can be located in the same plane, that is, the distance between the first terminal segment 5241 and the bottom wall of the shell is equal to the distance between the second terminal segment 5242 and the bottom wall of the shell.

[0101] The first terminal segment 5241 and the second terminal segment 5242 can also be located in different planes, that is, the distance between the first terminal segment 5241 and the bottom wall of the shell is not equal to the distance between the second terminal segment 5242 and the bottom wall of the shell, and the application example does not make specific limitation.

[0102] Based on the different properties of the power line connected by the terminal pin 524, the connection mode of the first terminal segment 5241 and the conductive structure can be different. For example, in the case of connecting the terminal pin 524 with the zero line or the ground line, the first terminal segment 5241 can be directly electrically connected with the conductive structure. In the case of connecting the terminal pin 524 with the fire line, the first terminal segment 5241 can also be electrically connected with the conductive structure through the button 510, and the application example does not make specific limitation.

[0103] At least part of the second wiring segment 5242 can be arranged in the wiring frame, and part of the power supply wire can extend into the wiring frame, so that the inner wall of the wiring frame clamps the power supply wire in cooperation with the second wiring segment 5242, and the electrical connection between the second wiring segment 5242 and the power supply wire is realized.

[0104] In the example of the present application, the second wiring segment 5242 is arranged in the wiring frame, and the second wiring segment 5242 can clamp the power supply wire in cooperation with the wiring frame, and the electrical connection between the power supply wire and the second wiring segment 5242 is realized. Since the first wiring segment 5241 is electrically connected with the conductive structure, and the first wiring segment 5241 and the second wiring segment 5242 both belong to the terminal pin 524, the electrical connection between the power supply wire and the conductive structure can be realized through the first wiring segment 5241 and the second wiring segment 5242.

[0105] Based on the button switch 500 provided in the above example, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The terminal pin 524 includes a zero line terminal pin, a fire line terminal pin, and a ground line terminal pin, and the button 510 can cut off the electrical connection between the fire line terminal pin and the conductive structure.

[0106] In the arrangement direction of the plurality of wiring terminals 520, the zero line terminal pin, the fire line terminal pin, and the ground line terminal pin are arranged along a straight line, and the second wiring segment of the zero line terminal pin, the second wiring segment of the fire line terminal pin, and the second wiring segment of the ground line terminal pin are substantially located in the same plane.

[0107] The terminal pin 524 can be made of copper and copper alloy, and the terminal pin 524 can also be made of other conductive materials.

[0108] One end of the zero line terminal pin is electrically connected with the zero line in the power supply wire, and the other end of the zero line terminal pin is electrically connected with the zero line conductive strip. One end of the ground line terminal pin is electrically connected with the ground line in the power supply wire, and the other end of the ground line terminal pin is electrically connected with the ground line conductive strip.

[0109] The button 510 can include a button body and a connecting segment in cooperation, one end of the fire line terminal pin can be connected to one end of the connecting segment, and the other end of the connecting segment can be electrically connected with the fire line conductive strip.

[0110] Compared with the button body, the connecting segment is arranged close to the bottom wall of the shell. At least part of the button body can extend out of the mounting hole to the shell, and the operator can apply a force to the button body, which can be transmitted to the connecting segment through the button body, so that the connecting segment moves towards the fire line terminal pin, and then the control connecting segment contacts the fire line terminal pin, realizing the electrical connection state between the connecting segment and the fire line terminal pin.

[0111] Exemplarily, the operator can apply a force to the button body, so that the button body is in the first position, at this time, the button body can drive the connecting segment to be electrically connected with the live terminal pin. At this time, the socket can provide power for the electrical appliance.

[0112] The operator can apply a force to the button body again, so that the button body is in the second position, at this time, the button body can drive the connecting segment to move away from the live terminal pin, and the connecting segment is separated from the live terminal pin. Since the other end of the connecting segment is electrically connected with the live conductive strip, when the live terminal pin is separated from the connecting segment, the live terminal pin is disconnected with the live conductive strip, at this time, the socket cannot provide power for the electrical appliance.

[0113] Along the arrangement direction of the plurality of terminal pins 520, the neutral terminal pin, the live terminal pin and the ground terminal pin are arranged along a straight line, and the second connecting segment of the neutral terminal pin, the second connecting segment of the live terminal pin and the second connecting segment of the ground terminal pin are substantially located in the same plane.

[0114] Along the arrangement direction of the plurality of terminal pins 520, the neutral terminal pin, the live terminal pin and the ground terminal pin are arranged along a straight line, and the second connecting segment of the neutral terminal pin, the second connecting segment of the live terminal pin and the second connecting segment of the ground terminal pin are substantially located in the same plane.

[0115] The second connecting segment of the neutral terminal pin, the second connecting segment of the live terminal pin and the second connecting segment of the ground terminal pin are substantially located in the same plane, which can be understood as that, in the case that the difference between any two of the first distance, the second distance and the third distance is less than 1 mm, the second connecting segment of the neutral terminal pin, the second connecting segment of the live terminal pin and the second connecting segment of the ground terminal pin are substantially located in the same plane.

[0116] The first distance is the maximum distance between the second connecting segment of the neutral terminal pin and the bottom wall of the shell, the second distance is the maximum distance between the second connecting segment of the live terminal pin and the bottom wall of the shell, and the third distance is the maximum distance between the second connecting segment of the ground terminal pin and the bottom wall of the shell.

[0117] In the example of the present application, the electrical connection state of the live terminal pin and the live conductive strip can be controlled through the button 510. The neutral terminal pin, the live terminal pin and the ground terminal pin are arranged along a straight line, so that the distribution positions of the plurality of terminal pins 524 are more explicit, which facilitates the operator to distinguish different terminal pins 524, reduces the possibility of misconnection of different terminal pins 524 and corresponding power supply wires, and improves the wiring efficiency.

[0118] The plurality of terminal pins 524 are arranged in a straight line, which is also convenient for the automatic equipment to identify and position different terminal pins 524, thereby facilitating automatic wiring and improving wiring efficiency.

[0119] The second wiring segment of the neutral terminal pin, the second wiring segment of the live terminal pin, and the second wiring segment of the ground terminal pin are substantially located in the same plane, which can avoid adjusting the parameters of the automatic equipment multiple times in the case of automatic wiring, improve the efficiency of automatic wiring, ensure the wiring reliability of the terminal pins 524 and the power supply lines, and thereby ensure the use reliability of the power strip.

[0120] Based on the button switch 500 provided in the above examples, please refer to Figure 8 , the terminal pin 524 includes a first limiting protrusion 5243, which is arranged at one end of the second wiring segment 5242 close to the first wiring segment 5241. The first limiting protrusion 5243 can be clamped to the frame wall of the wiring frame close to the conductive structure.

[0121] The first limiting protrusion 5243 can be provided with one or two. The present application only describes the case where the first limiting protrusion 5243 is provided with two as an example.

[0122] As shown in Figure 8 , the terminal pin 524 can include a pin body and two first limiting protrusions 5243 connected to each other. In combination with Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the sum of the sizes of the pin body and the two first limiting protrusions 5243 is greater than the size between the two inner walls of the wiring frame arranged opposite to each other along the direction in which the plurality of wiring terminals 520 are arranged.

[0123] In this way, in the case where the terminal pin 524 cooperates with the wiring frame, the first limiting protrusion 5243 can abut against the frame wall of the wiring frame facing the conductive structure, limiting the relative position of the terminal pin 524 and the wiring frame, and thereby reducing the amplitude of the shaking of the terminal pin 524 relative to the wiring frame.

[0124] Based on the button switch 500 provided in the above examples, please refer to Figure 8 , the terminal pin 524 can also include a second limiting protrusion 5244 and / or a third limiting protrusion 5245. The second limiting protrusion 5244 is arranged at one end of the second wiring segment 5242 away from the first wiring segment 5241, and the second limiting protrusion 5244 can be clamped to the frame wall of the wiring frame away from the conductive structure. The third limiting protrusion 5245 can be clamped to the inner wall of the wiring frame.

[0125] The second limiting protrusion 5244 can be provided with one or two. The present application only describes the case where the second limiting protrusion 5244 is provided with two as an example.

[0126] In the direction along which the plurality of terminal pins 520 are arranged, the sum of the size of the pin body and the size of the two second limiting protrusions 5244 is greater than the size between the two inner walls of the terminal frame arranged oppositely.

[0127] In this way, in the case where the terminal pin 524 is matched with the terminal frame, the second limiting protrusion 5244 can abut against the frame wall of the terminal frame facing away from the conductive structure, further limiting the relative position of the terminal pin 524 and the terminal frame, and thereby reducing the amplitude of the shaking of the terminal pin 524 relative to the terminal frame.

[0128] The third limiting protrusion 5245 can be provided with one or two, and the examples of the present application are described by taking the case where the third limiting protrusion 5245 is provided with two as an example.

[0129] The third limiting protrusion 5245 can be arranged spaced apart from any one of the second limiting protrusion 5244 and the first limiting protrusion 5243, and the third limiting protrusion 5245 can also be arranged spaced apart from both the second limiting protrusion 5244 and the first limiting protrusion 5243.

[0130] In the direction along which the plurality of terminal pins 520 are arranged, the sum of the size of the pin body and the size of the two third limiting protrusions 5245 is less than or equal to the size between the two inner walls of the terminal frame arranged oppositely.

[0131] In this way, in the case where the terminal pin 524 is matched with the terminal frame, the third limiting protrusion 5245 can abut against the frame wall of the terminal frame facing toward the conductive structure, further limiting the relative position of the terminal pin 524 and the terminal frame, and thereby reducing the amplitude of the shaking of the terminal pin 524 relative to the terminal frame.

[0132] The terminal pin 524 can only include the first limiting protrusion 5243, or only include the second limiting protrusion 5244, or only include the third limiting protrusion 5245. The terminal pin 524 can also include any two of the first limiting protrusion 5243, the second limiting protrusion 5244, and the third limiting protrusion 5245. The terminal pin 524 can also include the first limiting protrusion 5243, the second limiting protrusion 5244, and the third limiting protrusion 5245 at the same time, and the examples of the present application do not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0133] Based on the button switch 500 provided in the above examples, Figure 9 For the structure of the mounting seat provided in the examples of the present application, Figure 7 and Figure 9 The button switch 500 further includes a mounting seat 530, and the mounting seat 530 is provided with a clamping groove 531 clamping the terminal pin 524.

[0134] The clamping groove 531 can be arranged on the side of the mounting seat 530 facing the conductive structure.

[0135] The clamping grooves 531 can be provided with two or three, and the specific arrangement of the clamping grooves 531 is not limited in the examples of the present application.

[0136] When the clamping grooves 531 are provided with two, the end of the neutral line terminal pin towards the conductive structure can extend into one clamping groove 531, that is, the second wiring segment of the neutral line terminal pin can extend into one clamping groove 531, and the clamping groove 531 can limit the shaking range of the second wiring segment of the neutral line terminal pin in the mounting seat 530. The end of the live line terminal pin towards the conductive structure can extend into the other clamping groove 531, that is, the second wiring segment of the live line terminal pin can extend into the other clamping groove 531, and the clamping groove 531 can limit the shaking range of the second wiring segment of the live line terminal pin in the mounting seat 530.

[0137] At this time, since the ground pin terminal is not limited by the clamping groove 531, the arrangement position of the ground pin terminal can be adjusted according to the distribution of the conductive strip.

[0138] When the clamping grooves 531 are provided with three, the live line pin terminal, the ground pin terminal and the neutral line pin terminal can correspond to the clamping grooves 531 one by one, and each clamping groove 531 clamps the corresponding pin terminal. At this time, the three clamping grooves 531 can limit the live line pin terminal, the ground pin terminal and the neutral line pin terminal respectively, reduce the shaking range of the live line pin terminal, the ground pin terminal and the neutral line pin terminal in the mounting seat 530, and further ensure the use reliability of the push button switch 500.

[0139] In summary, by arranging the clamping grooves 531 in the mounting seat 530 and clamping the terminal pins 524, the shaking range of the terminal pins 524 can be reduced, and the use reliability of the push button switch 500 can be ensured.

[0140] Based on the push button switch 500 provided in the above examples, please refer to Figure 7 , the push button switch 500 further comprises an indicator lamp 540, the indicator lamp 540 is electrically connected with the conductive structure, the indicator lamp 540 comprises a first state and a second state, the first state is used for indicating that there is current passing through the conductive structure, and the second state is used for indicating that there is no current passing through the conductive structure.

[0141] The first state of the indicator lamp 540 can be a state that the indicator lamp 540 is on, and the second state of the indicator lamp 540 can be a state that the indicator lamp 540 is off. Alternatively, the first state and the second state of the indicator lamp 540 can correspond to different color on states of the indicator lamp 540, and the specific limitation is not limited in the examples of the present application, as long as the operator can determine whether there is current passing through the conductive structure according to the different states of the indicator lamp 540.

[0142] In the examples of the present application, different states of the indicator light 540 can indicate whether there is current passing through the conductive structure, so that the operator can know the current state in the conductive structure, and ensure the use reliability and safety of the power strip.

[0143] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
