Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical switches, and in particular to a quick-release power switch. Background Technology

[0002] A hotel power switch is a device used to control the power supply in hotel rooms. Based on the power-on method, they are divided into inductive power switches and card-operated power switches. Inductive power switches utilize infrared or other wireless sensing technologies, achieving power supply through wireless communication with the sensing device. They have a long lifespan but are relatively expensive. Card-operated power switches are more common; they achieve power supply by having an inserted room card chip sense the internal control circuit and output a power-on command. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN203012402U discloses a new type of power switch for hotel rooms, specifically including a mounting box, panel, and socket. The room card is inserted into the socket for use. However, the panel, as an exposed component, is prone to damage during use. Dust can also enter the socket, affecting card insertion and sensing. The one-piece design makes quick maintenance difficult, resulting in poor usability. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a quick-release power switch. This invention uses a card slot formed by a quick-release connection between a card insert baffle and a panel cover. Only the card insert baffle needs to be removed to allow for thorough cleaning or replacement and maintenance of the internal components, making it highly convenient to use.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A quick-release power switch includes an inductive junction box with a card slot. The inductive junction box includes a box body with a snap-fit ​​panel cover. The panel cover has a card insertion baffle, and the surface of the card insertion baffle has a U-shaped slot edge. The card insertion baffle, the panel cover, and the slot edge together form the card slot. The card insertion baffle has multiple mounting posts, and the ends of the mounting posts have downwardly extending card plates. The panel cover has an installation opening with symmetrically arranged elastic positioning blocks inside. The sides of two elastic positioning blocks and the upper end of the installation opening form an insertion port adapted to the card plate, and the lower end of the elastic positioning blocks and the lower end of the installation opening form a positioning port adapted to the mounting post.

[0005] In the aforementioned quick-release power switch, the upper part of the mounting port is provided with a top groove that matches the top of the mounting post, and the side of the elastic positioning block is an arc-shaped surface that matches the side of the mounting post.

[0006] In the aforementioned quick-release power switch, the lower part of the mounting port is provided with a bottom groove adapted to the bottom of the mounting post, and the lower end of the elastic positioning block is an arc shape adapted to the top of the mounting post.

[0007] In the aforementioned quick-release power switch, the side of the housing is provided with an elastic sheet, and the elastic sheet is provided with a latch; the side of the panel cover is provided with a latching block that matches the latch.

[0008] In the aforementioned quick-release power switch, the panel cover is provided with a circuit board mounting frame, and the side of the circuit board mounting frame is provided with multiple elastic limit buckles.

[0009] In the aforementioned quick-release power switch, the panel cover is provided with a circuit board mounting frame, and the side of the circuit board mounting frame is provided with multiple elastic limit buckles.

[0010] In the aforementioned quick-release power switch, the upper end of the card insert baffle is an arc shape that curves outward.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, when maintaining this utility model, pushing the card insert baffle upward causes the mounting post to bend the elastic positioning block to both sides, widening the gap so that the mounting post enters the slot from the positioning port, and the card plate also leaves the panel cover. Continue pushing the card insert baffle upward until the mounting post is flush with the top of the slot. At this point, it cannot move upward further. Pull the card insert baffle outward, and the mounting post will laterally pull the card plate out of the slot, thus completing the disassembly of the card insert baffle. At this point, the card insert baffle forming the card slot, the slot edge, and the panel cover can be cleaned, or the card insert baffle can be replaced. During installation, align the card plate of the card insert baffle with the panel. Insert the card into the slot on the cover horizontally until the card insert baffle is flush with the cover. At this point, the card plate reaches the other side of the cover. Push the card insert baffle down, and the mounting post pushes the elastic positioning block to bend to both sides. The gap expands, causing the mounting post to move away from the slot and down. The elastic positioning block resets to form a positioning opening, limiting the mounting post. At the same time, the card plate is flush with the cover surface to form a limiting position. The two limiting positions work together to achieve complete positioning, completing the installation of the card insert baffle. This utility model forms a card slot by separating and quickly disconnecting the card insert baffle and the cover. Only the card insert baffle needs to be removed to thoroughly clean or replace and maintain the interior, making it very convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0019] Example: A quick-release power switch, as shown in the attached document. Figure 1 As shown, it includes an induction junction box 1, which has a card slot 2, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 2 - Appendix Figure 4 As shown, the induction junction box 1 includes a box body 3, inside which a relay is fixed, directly connected to the room wiring for circuit switching. A panel cover 4 is fastened to the box body 3, and an induction circuit is fixed inside the panel cover for sensing and reading the room card chip and sending a control signal to the relay. This is a well-known and mastered technique, and will not be described in detail here. A card insertion baffle 5 is mounted on the panel cover 4, and a U-shaped slot edge piece 6 is integrally formed on the surface of the card insertion baffle 5. The card insertion baffle 5, the panel cover 4, and the slot edge piece 6 together form the card slot 2. Four mounting posts 7 are integrally formed on the card insertion baffle 5, and a downwardly extending card plate 8 is integrally formed at the end of each mounting post 7. Four mounting openings 9 are opened on the panel cover 4, and symmetrically arranged elastic positioning blocks 10 are integrally formed in the mounting openings 9. The sides of two elastic positioning blocks 10 are flush with the mounting openings 9. The upper part encloses to form an insertion port 11 adapted to the card plate 8, and the lower end of the elastic positioning block 10 and the lower part of the mounting port 9 enclose to form a positioning port 12 adapted to the mounting post 7; the sum of the thickness of the panel cover 4 and the slot edge piece 6 is equal to the length of the mounting post 7, ensuring that the card plate surface can reliably fit with the panel cover surface to achieve positioning; the upper part of the mounting port 9 has a top groove 13 adapted to the top of the mounting post 7, and the side of the elastic positioning block 10 is an arc-shaped surface adapted to the side of the mounting post 7, ensuring that the mounting post can fully fit with the formed insertion port, improving the guiding reliability during insertion and removal; the lower part of the mounting port 9 has a bottom groove 14 adapted to the bottom of the mounting post 7, and the lower end of the elastic positioning block 10 is an arc-shaped surface adapted to the top of the mounting post 7, ensuring that the mounting post fully fits with the formed positioning port, improving the positioning reliability of the mounting post; as shown in the attached figure. Figure 5As shown, the side of the box body 3 is integrally formed with an elastic sheet 15, and the elastic sheet 15 has a snap-fit ​​16; the side of the panel cover 4 is integrally formed with a snap-fit ​​block 17 that matches the snap-fit ​​16. When the panel cover is fastened to the box body, the snap-fit ​​block is embedded in the snap-fit ​​of the elastic sheet to achieve a fixed installation; the panel cover 4 is integrally formed with a circuit board mounting frame 18, and the side of the circuit board mounting frame 18 is processed with multiple elastic limiting buckles 19. The elastic limiting buckles have an inclined surface for pushing outward and a right-angled edge for positioning. When the sensing circuit board is embedded, the elastic limit buckle is first pushed outward and then reset. After reset, the elastic limit buckle, together with the circuit board mounting frame, reliably positions the circuit board, making installation quick and easy. The slot side piece 6 has a cavity 20, and the mounting post 7 is integrally formed in the cavity 20. After the slot side piece is attached to the panel cover, the cavity is also closed, thereby preventing impurities from entering the junction box and panel cover through the mounting port and improving the reliability of use. The upper end of the card insertion baffle 5 is an arc shape that bends outward to provide a guide for inserting the room card.

[0020] Working Principle: When maintaining this utility model, push the card insert baffle 5 upward. At this time, the mounting post 7 pushes the elastic positioning block 10 to bend to both sides, and the gap expands so that the mounting post 7 enters the socket 11 from the positioning port 12. The card plate 8 also leaves the panel cover 4. Continue to push the card insert baffle 5 upward until the mounting post 7 is in close contact with the top of the socket 11. At this time, it can no longer move upward. Pull the card insert baffle 5 outward, and the mounting post 7 will drive the card plate 8 to be taken out from the socket 11 together, thus completing the disassembly of the card insert baffle 5. At this time, the card insert baffle 5 forming the card slot 2, the slot side piece 6, and the panel cover 4 can be cleaned, or the card insert baffle 5 can be replaced. During this process, the elastic deformation of the elastic positioning block 10 can be smoothly expanded under the push of the mounting post 7, and at the same time, it will return to its original shape after disassembly for the next installation and use. In addition, after the mounting post 7 is disassembled, the cavity 20 in the slot side piece 6 can effectively prevent impurities from entering the junction box and the inside of the panel cover during the cleaning process, keep the internal circuit clean, and avoid the impact of impurity accumulation on circuit performance.

[0021] During installation, align the card plate 8 of the card insert baffle 5 with the slot 11 on the panel cover 4, and insert it horizontally until the card insert baffle 5 is in contact with the panel cover 4. At this time, the card plate 8 reaches the other side of the panel cover 4. Push the card insert baffle 5 down, and the mounting post 7 pushes the elastic positioning block 10 to bend to both sides. The gap expands, causing the mounting post 7 to move away from the slot 11 and down. The elastic positioning block 10 resets to form a positioning port 12, which limits the mounting post 7. At the same time, the card plate 8 is in contact with the panel cover 4 to form a limit. The two limits cooperate to achieve complete positioning and complete the installation of the card insert baffle 5. During installation, the top groove 13 at the top of the mounting port 9 and the bottom groove 14 at the bottom are adapted to the top and bottom of the mounting column 7, respectively, playing a role in precise positioning and guidance, making the installation operation smoother and more accurate. The arc-shaped design of the side and bottom of the elastic positioning block 10 further improves the fit with the mounting column 7, enhances the limiting effect, ensures that the card insertion baffle 5 is firmly installed, and avoids loosening during use. The arc-shaped design of the upper end of the card insertion baffle 5, which bends outward, can guide the room card smoothly into the card slot 2 when the room card is inserted, improving the convenience of use for users.

[0022] This invention utilizes a quick-release connection between the card insert baffle 5 and the panel cover 4 to form the card slot 2. Simply removing the card insert baffle 5 allows for thorough cleaning or replacement maintenance of the internal components, offering excellent ease of use. This design not only facilitates daily maintenance and extends the lifespan of the power switch, but also enables rapid replacement of damaged parts in case of malfunction, reducing repair time and costs and improving overall performance.

[0023] The above embodiments merely illustrate the implementation of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent.
