Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of residual current devices, and in particular to a residual current device socket with a night light. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs) are widely used and play a crucial role in preventing electrical accidents. However, existing RCCBs are difficult to identify and use at night or in low-light environments, which may lead to operational errors and safety hazards.

[0003] In the prior art, many residual current devices (RCDs) are equipped with automatic night lights. When the ambient light level decreases, the night light inside the RCD automatically turns on to provide illumination. For example, patent publication number CN214849414U discloses an RCD device with lighting function, which includes an upper cover and a middle support. A lighting control board is installed between the upper cover and the middle support. The lighting control board is connected to the live or neutral wire socket pieces on both sides of the middle support via a power connection line, so that the lighting control board can be powered by the RCD without the need for an additional power supply.

[0004] However, in actual production, the connection between the lighting control board and the live or neutral wire socket piece is very cumbersome. It requires fixing both ends of the power cable to the lighting control board and the socket piece respectively. Poor contact can also occur during use. Furthermore, the production and assembly process is complex, requiring more manual labor and time, thus reducing the production efficiency of leakage protection sockets. Utility Model Content

[0005] To facilitate the installation of lighting control panels, a leakage protection socket with a night light is provided.

[0006] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A leakage protection socket with a night light includes a middle support and a top cover. The top cover is snapped onto the upper part of the middle support. A lighting component is snapped between the middle support and the top cover. The lighting component includes a lighting control board and a light-emitting element disposed on the lighting control board. The lighting control board is vertically snapped between the top cover and the middle support. The lighting control board has a power receiving area. It also includes a power receiving component, one end of which is pressed against and attached to the power receiving area, and the other end is connected to the socket power supply.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the top cover is fastened to the middle support, the top cover vertically snaps the lighting control board between the middle support and the top cover, thereby making the power receiving area on the lighting control board fit and abut against the power receiving component. The lighting control board can be powered by the socket power supply through the power receiving component, eliminating the need to connect the lighting control board and the socket power supply by welding during assembly. Using the power receiving component simplifies the assembly process of the lighting control board, reduces the complexity of the manufacturing process, and requires less manual operation and time, thus improving the production efficiency of the leakage protection socket.

[0009] Optionally, the power connector includes a connecting portion that is fitted and pressed against the lighting control panel, and the end of the connecting portion extends and bends away from the lighting control panel.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the curved and extended connection part can fit better with the lighting control panel and is not easy to loosen or shift due to external force, thereby ensuring the long-term stability of the electrical connection and reducing the risk of failure caused by loose connection.

[0011] Optionally, two relatively parallel fixing plates are fixed on the middle layer bracket, and a plug-in cavity for the lighting control board to be plugged in is provided between the two fixing plates.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the plug-in cavity makes the installation of the lighting control board simple and convenient. During installation, the lighting control board can be simply aligned with the plug-in cavity and inserted without complicated fixing steps or tools. This greatly improves production efficiency and reduces installation time and cost. At the same time, when the lighting control board malfunctions or needs to be replaced, maintenance personnel can easily pull the lighting control board out of the plug-in cavity for repair or replacement.

[0013] Optionally, the intermediate support is provided with a conductive metal sheet, one end of which is connected to the power supply of the socket, and the other end is connected to the electrical connector. The height of the fixing plate on the intermediate support is higher than the height of the conductive metal sheet on the intermediate support, but lower than the height of the electrical connector area on the intermediate support.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the height of the fixing plate in the middle bracket is increased, and the contact area between the lighting control board and the fixing plate is increased, so that the fixing plate can limit the lighting control board over a wider range, reducing the safety hazards to electrical connections caused by the shaking of the lighting control board.

[0015] Optionally, two conductive metal plates are installed on both sides of the middle layer bracket. Preferably, there are two lighting components and two electrical connectors. The two lighting components are electrically connected to the two conductive metal plates through the two electrical connectors.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, and by installing two lighting control boards and two conductive metal sheets, and using two electrical connectors for electrical connection, a redundant design is achieved. Even if one of the lighting control boards or conductive metal sheets fails, the other can still work normally, ensuring the continuity and reliability of the lighting system.

[0017] Optionally, the end of the fixing plate facing away from the middle layer support has a smooth transition.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the smooth transition design makes it easier for the lighting control board to be inserted into the socket. The operator does not need to apply too much force to insert the lighting control board into place, reducing the resistance and difficulty in the insertion process.

[0019] Optionally, a limiting member is fixed on the side of the top cover facing the middle support. The limiting member is engaged with the lighting control board, and the limiting member has a slot for inserting the lighting control board.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the electrical connector is pressed against the lighting control board, the electrical connector will press against the lighting control board. The design of the limiting component and the plug slot can effectively fix the position of the lighting control board. While fixing the position of the lighting control board, it also ensures that the electrical connection between the lighting control board and the socket power supply remains stable, reducing the risk of poor contact or open circuit.

[0021] Optionally, the end of the limiting member facing the middle layer bracket is recessed into the insertion groove.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when the top cover is snapped down towards the middle layer bracket, the limiting component moves downward towards the lighting control board, moving the lighting control board into the insertion slot. Therefore, the design of the end of the limiting component being recessed into the insertion slot makes it easier for the lighting control board to slide into the insertion slot. During the connection between the top cover and the middle layer bracket, the stability and reliability of the snap-fit ​​between the limiting component and the lighting control board are improved.

[0023] Optionally, the lighting assembly further includes a sensing element connected to the lighting control board, and the sensing element is electrically connected to the lighting control board.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the sensing element can detect whether someone is present and control the lighting to turn on or off accordingly, reducing unnecessary energy consumption and achieving the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0025] In summary, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. There is no need to connect the lighting control board and the socket power supply by soldering during assembly. Using electrical connectors simplifies the assembly process of the lighting control board, reduces the complexity of the manufacturing process, and requires less manual operation and time, thereby improving the production efficiency of leakage protection sockets.

[0031] The following section provides a more detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying diagrams:

[0032] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a leakage protection socket with a night light includes a base 1, a middle bracket 2, a lighting component 3, and a top cover 4.

[0033] The middle support 2 is located above the base 1 and is interlocked with the base 1. The middle support 2 includes a conductive metal sheet 21, a fixing plate 22, and a power connector 23.

[0034] There are two conductive metal sheets 21. The two conductive metal sheets 21 are respectively snapped into the two sides of the middle layer bracket 2. One end of the two conductive metal sheets 21 is electrically connected to the live wire and the neutral wire of the power input terminal, respectively. The other end of the two conductive metal sheets 21 is suspended.

[0035] The fixing plate 22 is perpendicularly fixed to the middle layer bracket 2. There are two sets of fixing plates 22 here. Each set consists of two relatively parallel fixing plates 22, and a insertion cavity 221 is provided between the two relatively parallel fixing plates 22 in the same set.

[0036] As attached Figure 2As shown, the lighting assembly 3 is installed on the middle layer bracket 2. The lighting assembly 3 includes a lighting control board 31. There are two lighting control boards 31, which are located in two insertion cavities 221 respectively. Two fixing plates 22 in the same group are engaged with the lighting control boards 31. The distance between the groove walls of the insertion cavities 221 is less than the thickness of the lighting control boards 31 in the direction parallel to the middle layer bracket 2. During installation, the lighting control boards 31 can be simply aligned with the insertion cavities 221 and inserted without complicated fixing steps or tools, which facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the lighting control boards 31.

[0037] The lighting control board 31 is equipped with a power receiving area 311. The height of the fixing plate 22 on the middle layer bracket 2 is higher than the height of the conductive metal sheet 21 on the middle layer bracket 2, but lower than the height of the power receiving area 311 on the middle layer bracket 2. This increases the height of the fixing plate 22 on the middle layer bracket 2 and increases the contact area between the lighting control board 31 and the fixing plate 22. This allows the fixing plate 22 to limit the movement of the lighting control board 31 over a wider range, reducing the safety hazards to the electrical connection caused by the shaking of the lighting control board 31.

[0038] The end of the fixing plate 22 facing away from the middle layer bracket 2 has a smooth transition, which makes it easier for the lighting control board 31 to be inserted into the plug cavity 221. The operator does not need to apply too much force to insert the lighting control board 31 into place.

[0039] The electrical connector 23 is a metal connecting piece. There are two electrical connectors 23. Each electrical connector includes a connecting part 231 and a fixing part 232. The fixing parts 232 of the two electrical connectors 23 are fixedly connected to the two conductive metal pieces 21 respectively. The connecting parts 231 of the two electrical connectors 23 are pressed and adhered to the electrical receiving areas 311 of the two lighting control boards 31 respectively. The ends of the connecting parts 231 are bent and extended away from the lighting control board 31, so that the connecting parts 231 and the lighting control board 31 can fit better and are not easily loosened or displaced by external force.

[0040] The upper cover 4 is located above the middle support 2. The upper cover 4 is fastened to the middle support 2. A limiting member 41 is fixed on the side of the upper cover 4 facing the middle support 2. There are two limiting members 41, and the two limiting members 41 are respectively parallel to the two lighting control panels 31 vertically.

[0041] The limiting member 41 has a vertical insertion groove 411 on the side facing the lighting control board 31. The distance between the groove walls of the insertion groove 411 is less than the thickness of the lighting control board 31 in the direction parallel to the upper cover 4. When the upper cover 4 is fastened to the middle bracket 2, the lighting control board 31 is located in the insertion groove. The two limiting members 41 limit the two lighting control boards 31 in the horizontal direction, which can effectively fix the position of the lighting control board 31 and reduce the risk of the lighting control board 31 moving in the horizontal direction.

[0042] One end of the limiting member 41 is fixedly connected to the upper cover 4, and the other end is recessed into the insertion groove 411. When the upper cover 4 is fastened to the middle layer bracket 2, the limiting member 41 moves downward toward the lighting control board 31, moving the lighting control board 31 into the insertion groove 411, making it easier for the lighting control board 31 to slide into the insertion groove 411.

[0043] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the lighting assembly 3 also includes a sensing element 32, a sensing column 33, and a light-emitting element 34. The sensing element 32 is fixedly connected to one of the lighting control boards 31 and electrically connected to the lighting control board 31. The sensing element 32 is adapted to generate sensing information by being triggered by at least one of light, sound, wireless signal, and infrared signal.

[0044] The sensing column 33 is cylindrical in shape. The upper cover 4 has a sensing hole 42 that fits the sensing column 33. One end of the sensing column 33 is electrically connected to the sensing element 32, and the other end of the sensing column 33 passes through the sensing hole 42 and extends to the surface of the upper cover 4.

[0045] The light-emitting element 34 is fixedly connected to another lighting control board 31 and electrically connected to the lighting control board 31. The upper cover 4 has a light-emitting hole 43 that fits the light-emitting element 34. One end of the light-emitting element 34 is electrically connected to the lighting control board 31, and the other end of the light-emitting element 34 passes through the light-emitting hole 43 and extends to the surface of the upper cover 4. The light-emitting element 34 is preferably a light-emitting diode (LED) or an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) or other element suitable for lighting, and is connected to the lighting control board 31.

[0046] The lighting control board 31 can control the light-emitting element 34 to turn on or off in response to the sensing information of the sensing element 32, thereby implementing lighting under appropriate conditions, reducing unnecessary energy consumption, and achieving the goal of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0047] The working principle of this embodiment:

[0048] When the sensing element 32 detects a decrease in ambient light or when someone passes by, the sensing element 32 releases an electrical signal to the lighting control board 31. The neutral or live wire conductive metal piece 21 in the leakage protection socket provides power to the lighting control board 31. One end of the connecting piece 23 is fixedly connected to the conductive metal piece 21, and the other end is pressed against the connecting area 311. Thus, the lighting control board 31 and the conductive metal piece 21 are electrically connected through the connecting piece 23. The lighting control board 31 releases an electrical signal to the light-emitting element to control the light-emitting element to turn on or off.

[0049] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of this application and is not intended to limit it. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of protection claimed in this application.
