Abstract
Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical installation technology, and specifically to a die for opening holes for mounting holes in a base box. Background technology:
[0002] In today's home décor industry, customized furniture is entering countless households with unprecedented popularity. This rise is no accident; it's underpinned by numerous factors that appeal to consumers.
[0003] From a personalized experience perspective, people are no longer satisfied with generic, ready-made furniture. Everyone possesses unique aesthetic sensibilities and lifestyle aspirations, and customized furniture perfectly caters to these needs. Consumers can choose the type of wood and the color of the boards according to their preferences, designing exclusive furniture styles—from the style of a handle to the overall storage layout, everything can be customized. This personalized customization not only showcases personal taste but also transforms the home space into a unique and comfortable haven.
[0004] The high efficiency of space utilization is also a key reason why custom furniture is so popular. Modern urban housing is becoming increasingly compact, making the most of every inch of space a major concern for residents. Custom furniture can be cleverly designed to fit the actual contours of a room, whether it's an angled space, around beams and columns, or in a narrow passageway. For example, multi-tiered storage cabinets can be built into the triangular area under the stairs, or an integrated tatami combination cabinet can be customized in the bay window area, combining leisure, storage, and sleeping functions to maximize the use of unused space and make the originally cramped room more organized.
[0005] Furthermore, as living standards improve, people's expectations for home functionality continue to rise. Customized furniture can provide precisely matched functional modules. To meet the needs of office workers, desks can be equipped with height-adjustable features, concealed cable management, and ample power outlets; kitchen cabinets can be rationally arranged with drawers, pull-out baskets, and outlets based on the frequency of use and operating procedures of various cooking utensils, making the cooking process convenient and smooth.
[0006] However, while the custom furniture industry is booming, it also faces challenges in the installation process. Since custom furniture often occupies a large portion of a room's walls, conventional wall mounting locations for switches and sockets are taken up, making it inevitable to drill mounting holes in the furniture. Traditional drilling methods typically require marking the hole locations on the panel before drilling using tools like a cutting machine. This process often requires experienced craftsmen to ensure accuracy; even slight mistakes can easily damage expensive custom furniture. Minor damage may result in scratches or cracks on the furniture surface, affecting its appearance; more serious damage may directly damage the furniture panel, rendering it unusable and requiring replacement, not only delaying the installation process but also increasing costs.
[0007] In view of the above, the inventors propose the following technical solution. Utility model content:
[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a bottom box mounting hole opening mold.
[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a bottom box mounting hole opening mold, comprising: a frame body, a hollow hole disposed in the middle of the frame body, at least one locking protrusion disposed at one end of the frame body, and at least one locking groove disposed at the other end of the frame body and capable of engaging with the locking protrusion, wherein the locking groove can engage with the locking protrusion to achieve splicing of two or more frame bodies.
[0010] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the locking protrusion is provided with at least one first groove for fastening the locking groove, and the locking groove is provided with at least one first protrusion for engaging with the first groove.
[0011] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the corners of the hollowed-out hole are rounded to prevent stress concentration.
[0012] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the frame body is provided with at least two positioning holes that are diagonally distributed.
[0013] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, four positioning holes are provided and distributed at the four corners of the frame body, and the positioning holes are countersunk holes.
[0014] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the size of the frame body is the same as the size of the base box, and the positioning holes correspond to the fixing holes of the base box.
[0015] Furthermore, in the above technical solution, the thickness of the locking protrusion and the locking groove is greater than one-third of the thickness of the frame body and less than two-thirds of the thickness of the frame body, and the locking protrusion and the locking groove are flush with the side of the frame body after they are engaged.
[0016] After adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: In this utility model, the frame body is pressed against the panel, and the hollowed-out holes are aligned with the positions where holes need to be opened. After determining the installation position of the bottom box using the hollowed-out holes, the space inside the hollowed-out holes is hollowed out using a hole-opening tool to complete the opening of the bottom box installation hole. This ensures that the opening position will not change during the opening process, ensuring accurate opening position and preventing unnecessary scratches and damage to the panel. Secondly, by setting interlocking locking protrusions and locking grooves on both ends of the frame body, multiple frame bodies are spliced together by interlocking the locking protrusions and locking grooves. This allows for the arrangement and combination of multiple bottom box installation holes, ensuring precise spacing between each bottom box installation hole. This ensures that the bottom boxes of switches or sockets are tightly arranged after installation, thus ensuring that the bottom box installation holes cut out on the furniture panel are aligned consistently when multiple openings and sockets are arranged, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing arrangement when multiple switches and sockets are installed.

[0019] Figure 3 This is a diagram showing the usage state of this utility model. Detailed implementation method:
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. In this embodiment, it is preferable to drill holes for the bottom box mounting holes on common and easily processed furniture panels such as wood panels, acrylic panels, composite panels, and aluminum alloy panels.
[0021] See Figures 1 to 3As shown, this is a mold for opening mounting holes in a bottom box, comprising: a frame body 1, a hollow hole 10 disposed in the middle of the frame body 1, at least one locking protrusion 2 disposed at one end of the frame body 1, and at least one locking groove 3 disposed at the other end of the frame body 1 and capable of engaging with the locking protrusion 2. The locking groove 3 can engage and fasten with the locking protrusion 2 to achieve splicing of two or more frame bodies 1. The process involves pressing the frame body 1 against the panel and aligning the hollow hole 10 with the desired opening position. After determining the mounting position of the bottom box using the hollow hole 10, the space within the hollow hole 10 is hollowed out using an opening tool to complete the opening of the mounting hole for the bottom box. This ensures that the opening position does not change during the opening process, ensuring accurate opening and preventing unnecessary scratches and damage to the panel. Secondly, by setting interlocking protrusions 2 and grooves 3 on two sections of the frame body 1, multiple frame bodies 1 can be spliced together by interlocking the protrusions 2 and grooves 3. This allows for the arrangement and combination of multiple bottom shell mounting holes, ensuring precise spacing between each bottom box mounting hole. This ensures that the bottom boxes of switches or sockets are tightly arranged after installation, thus ensuring that the bottom box mounting holes cut out on the furniture panel can be aligned consistently when multiple openings and sockets are arranged, and ensuring an aesthetically pleasing arrangement when multiple switches and sockets are installed.
[0022] The locking protrusion 2 is provided with at least one first slot 21 for fastening the locking groove 3, and the locking groove 3 is provided with at least one first protrusion 31 for engaging with the first slot 21. By providing the first slot 21 and the first protrusion 31 on the locking protrusion 2 and the locking groove 3 respectively for mutual engagement, the stability of the engagement between the locking protrusion 2 and the locking groove 3 is improved, preventing displacement or separation between the two frame bodies 1 during the drilling process, ensuring the stability of multiple frame bodies 1 in use, and preventing changes in the distance between the hollow holes 10 from affecting the aesthetics of the switch or socket after installation.
[0023] The four corners of the perforated hole 10 in the frame body 1 are rounded to prevent stress concentration. At least two diagonally distributed positioning holes 11 are provided on the frame body 1. There are four positioning holes 11, distributed at the four corners of the frame body 1, and each positioning hole 11 is a countersunk hole. By providing positioning holes 11 on the frame body 1, after the position of the bottom box mounting hole is determined by the frame body 1, the frame body 1 is fixed by screws passing through the positioning holes 11, ensuring that the frame body 1 remains stationary when drilling into the perforated hole 10, ensuring accurate drilling position. Furthermore, by rounding the four corners of the perforated hole 10, not only can cracking of the four corners of the bottom box mounting hole due to stress concentration be avoided after drilling, but the rounded design also facilitates the entry and exit of the drilling tool, making the drilling operation more convenient.
[0024] The frame body 1 is the same size as the base box, and the positioning holes 11 correspond to the fixing holes of the base box. Since the switch and socket covers the base box, the holes pre-drilled on the panel for fixing the frame body 1 through the positioning holes 11 are concealed by the cover, thus not affecting the aesthetics of the switch and socket. Furthermore, since most base boxes have edges larger than the mounting holes extending outwards and are fixed to the panel with screws, it is common practice to use a frame body 1 that is the same size as the base box, with the positioning holes 11 on the frame body 1 corresponding to the fixing holes of the base box, thereby ensuring the appearance of the installed switch and socket.
[0025] The thickness of the locking protrusion 2 and the locking groove 3 is greater than one-third of the thickness of the frame body 1 and less than two-thirds of the thickness of the frame body 1. After the locking protrusion 2 and the locking groove 3 are engaged and fastened, they are flush with the side of the frame body 1.
[0026] In summary, when using this utility model, if it is necessary to drill a bottom box mounting hole on the panel, a frame body 1 is attached to the panel. After the frame body 1 is moved and adjusted to a suitable position, it is fixed to the panel by passing two screws through the two diagonally opposite positioning holes 11 on the frame body 1. Of course, the screws are preferably self-tapping screws. Then, the panel area inside the hollow hole 10 is cut off by a power tool to complete the drilling of the bottom box mounting hole on the panel. Finally, the frame body 1 is removed from the panel. When it is necessary to arrange and drill multiple bottom box mounting holes on the panel, firstly, multiple frame bodies 1 are fastened together by connecting and locking the locking protrusions 2 and locking grooves 3 to achieve splicing between frame bodies 1. Then, multiple spliced frame bodies 1 are fixed to the panel by passing at least two screws through two diagonally positioned positioning holes 11 on the frame body 1. Subsequently, the panel area inside multiple hollow holes 10 is cut off one by one by using power tools to complete the drilling of multiple arranged bottom box mounting holes on the panel. Finally, the frame bodies 1 are removed from the panel and separated one by one to facilitate subsequent splicing and use for different numbers of bottom box mounting hole arrangements.
[0027] Of course, the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.
