Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of sockets, and more particularly to a recessed wall socket. Background Technology
[0002] A socket, also known as a power outlet or switch socket, is a receptacle that allows one or more electrical connections to be inserted, facilitating connection to other circuits. The connection or disconnection of the circuit is achieved through the connection and disconnection of the wiring and copper components.
[0003] Recessed wall sockets are sockets fixed to a wall surface. They generally consist of three parts: a mounting plate installed on the wall, a decorative panel covering the mounting plate, and a mounting unit installed inside the wall, protruding from the mounting plate at one end. Mounting units come in various types, such as switches, sockets, network ports, and cable TV ports, and their sizes also vary. Because socket signal strength differs between countries, the required mounting units also vary, involving combinations of multiple different mounting units. Customizing mounting plates for different products would be too costly. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an embedded wall socket.
[0005] This application provides an embedded wall socket, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0034] Example 1:
[0035] Embodiment 1 of this application discloses an embedded wall socket. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes a mounting plate 1 fixedly installed on a wall, multiple mounting units 2 snapped onto the mounting plate 1, and a decorative panel 5 snapped onto the mounting plate 1. The mounting plate 1 has a through-hole 11 for part of the structure of the mounting units 2 to pass through. Multiple mounting grooves 12 are through-holes on the side walls of the mounting plate 1 opposite to the mounting openings 11. The mounting grooves 12 extend along the installation distribution direction of the mounting units 2, and are evenly distributed along the arrangement direction of the multiple mounting units 2. The distance between adjacent mounting grooves 12 is less than the width of the mounting unit 2.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 The mounting unit 2 has two integrated clips 3, which are respectively set to correspond to the two mounting slots 12. The clips 3 are used to insert into the mounting slots 12 to position the mounting unit 2.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 The mounting unit 2 has multiple locking blocks 4 integrally formed on its two opposite side walls, and the mounting plate 1 has an integrally formed mounting boss 10 on its side wall around the mounting opening 11. The locking blocks 4 are used to abut against the side wall of the mounting boss 10 to achieve a snap-fit connection between the mounting unit 2 and the mounting plate 1. In other embodiments, the mounting unit 2 and the mounting plate 1 are bolted to the mounting groove 12 via a bolt assembly.
[0038] Reference Figure 2 A receiving groove 51 is provided through the decorative panel 5 for part of the structure of the mounting unit 2 to pass through. The mounting unit 2 and the mounting plate 1 are respectively located on both sides of the decorative panel 5. The mounting unit 2 is installed on the mounting plate 1 through the receiving groove 51. A clearance groove 52 is provided on the side wall of the decorative panel 5 facing the mounting plate 1, which communicates with the receiving groove 51. The opening size of the clearance groove 52 is larger than the opening size of the receiving groove 51. The clearance groove 52 is a countersunk groove to allow the mounting plate 1 to be recessed and make room. The clearance groove 52 is used to accommodate the mounting plate 1. A snap-fit block 6 is integrally formed on the bottom wall of the clearance groove 52. A snap-fit groove 13 is formed through the mounting plate 1. A bent snap-fit plate 7 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the snap-fit groove 13, with the bent convex surface of the snap-fit plate 7 facing the decorative panel 5. A relief groove 521 for accommodating the snap-fit plate 7 is formed on the bottom wall of the clearance groove 52. The snap-fit block 6 abuts against the bent concave surface of the snap-fit plate 7 to achieve a snap-fit connection between the decorative panel 5 and the mounting plate 1, and the snap-fit block 6 is concealed within the clearance groove 52 and the snap-fit groove 13. In other embodiments, the decorative panel 5 is bolted to the mounting plate 1.
[0039] The assembly principle of an embedded wall socket in Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: The assembler first fixes the mounting plate 1 on the wall, and then selects different specifications and quantities of mounting units 2 according to customer needs. The buckles 3 on the mounting units 2 are aligned and inserted into the mounting grooves 12 on the mounting plate 1. At this time, the clips 4 on the mounting units 2 are snapped together with the mounting protrusions 10 on the mounting plate 1. After multiple mounting units 2 are installed, the decorative panel 5 is snapped together with the clip plate 7 through the clips 6.
[0040] Example 2:
[0041] Reference Figure 3 The installation direction of the mounting unit 2 is set from front to back. Unlike embodiment 1, the front side wall of the mounting plate 1 has a limiting groove 14 communicating with the mounting port 11. The opening size of the limiting groove 14 is larger than the opening size of the mounting port 11. The mounting groove 12 is formed on the opposite side walls of the limiting groove 14 and extends along the installation distribution direction perpendicular to the multiple mounting units 2. The bottom wall of the limiting groove 14 on the opposite side walls of the mounting port 11 is used to abut against the mounting unit 2 to limit the mounting unit 2.
[0042] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting unit 2 has grooves 21 extending perpendicular to the mounting distribution direction of the multiple mounting units 2 on its opposite side walls. Each groove 21 includes a large-diameter section 211 and a small-diameter section 212 that are interconnected. The small-diameter section 212 is located on the side of the large-diameter section 211 away from the bottom wall of the groove 21 and is connected to the outside. Insert blocks 8 are slidably installed within the large-diameter section 211 and the small-diameter section 212. An elastic element 9 is press-fitted between the insert block 8 and the bottom wall of the groove 21, and the elastic element 9 is used to push the insert block 8 outward from the groove 21. A limiting boss 82 is integrally formed on the insert block 8. The cross-sectional dimension of the limiting boss 82 is larger than that of the small-diameter section 212, and the limiting boss 82 is slidably installed within the large-diameter section 211. The insert blocks 8 are correspondingly arranged with the mounting grooves 12, allowing the elastic element 9 to push the insert blocks 8 into the mounting grooves 12, thereby achieving a snap-fit connection between the mounting unit 2 and the mounting plate 1.
[0043] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The end of the insert 8 extending out of the slide groove 21 is inclined with a retraction slope 81, which is inclined towards the lower and rearward direction. The retraction slope 81 is used for the mounting plate 1 sidewall on the outer periphery of the mounting groove 12 to slide against and press the insert 8 back into the slide groove 21.
[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
