[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] like Figures 1-7 As shown in some illustrative embodiments, an outdoor switch and socket protection device is provided, including: a back panel frame 100, an outer cover box 200, a double-sided adhesive tape 300, and a locking hook 400.

[0029] The back panel frame 100 is mounted on the wall surface, providing support and fixing points for the entire protective device. The outer cover box 200 is hinged to the back panel frame 100 and is a rotatable part connected to the back panel frame 100 via the hinge point. When the switch socket needs to be used, the user can lift the outer cover box 200, causing it to rotate upwards around the hinge point until it forms an angle of approximately 90 degrees with the back panel frame 100. At this point, the switch socket is fully exposed and ready for use. After use, the user simply needs to snap the outer cover box 200 downwards onto the back panel frame 100 to close the protective device, ensuring effective protection for the switch socket.

[0030] Double-sided adhesive tape 300 is applied to the rear surface of the back panel frame 100. It is an adhesive material used to fix the back panel frame 100 to the wall. It has double-sided adhesion, meaning that it can be applied to both the front and back sides. The rear surface of the back panel frame 100 refers to the side facing the wall.

[0031] The installation process is as follows:

[0032] First, remove the original screws securing the switch and socket, and gently pull out the switch and socket to create a certain distance between it and the wall. At this point, the switch and socket remain connected to the power cord; there is no need to disconnect the power.

[0033] Next, clean the wall surface to ensure it is clean and flat. Peel off the release paper from one side of the double-sided adhesive tape 300 to expose the adhesive surface, and stick the exposed adhesive surface to the back surface of the back panel frame 100.

[0034] Finally, align the back panel frame 100 with the position of the switch and socket, insert the switch and socket into the protective device at a 45° angle from the back of the back panel frame 100, then peel off the release paper on the other side of the double-sided adhesive tape 300, and firmly stick the back surface of the back panel frame 100, i.e. the side with the double-sided adhesive tape 300, to the prepared wall surface, press firmly, and after the back panel frame 100 is fixed to the wall, reinstall the switch and socket in their original positions.

[0035] In the installation process, no power-off operation is needed, reducing the risk of electric shock caused by improper operation, and the above structure design makes the installation and subsequent maintenance of the switch socket more convenient and fast, simplifying the installation steps.

[0036] The double-sided adhesive sticker 300 is a rectangular sticker when not in use, with the same size as the outer shape of the backplate frame 100, ensuring that it can completely cover the back surface of the backplate frame 100. In this embodiment, a plurality of tear openings 310 are provided on the double-sided adhesive sticker 300 along the inner side contour 110 of the backplate frame 100, which are usually elongated to facilitate subsequent tearing operations. When the double-sided adhesive sticker 300 is completely attached to the back surface of the backplate frame 100, the middle part of the double-sided adhesive sticker 300 is removed along the tear openings 310, exposing the frame opening part of the backplate frame 100, providing space for the installation of the switch socket.

[0037] The design of the tear openings 310 makes it easy to remove the double-sided adhesive sticker 300, and the user can easily tear off the middle part of the double-sided adhesive sticker 300 along the preset openings. Moreover, the tear openings 310 are provided along the inner side contour of the backplate frame 100, ensuring that after removing the middle part of the double-sided adhesive sticker 300, the remaining double-sided adhesive sticker 300 coincides with the backplate frame 100, which not only ensures neatness and beauty, but also does not affect the subsequent installation of the switch socket.

[0038] The top of the backplate frame 100 is provided with a flip positioning plate 120, which is an outwardly extending part of the top of the backplate frame 100 and is an integral molding structure. Two hollow grooves 130 are provided side by side on the flip positioning plate 120, and an arc-shaped swing piece 140 is provided in each hollow groove 130. The top end of the arc-shaped swing piece 140 is connected to the top side groove wall of the hollow groove 130, so that the arc-shaped swing piece 140 can swing in the hollow groove 130 at a small angle along the part connected to the hollow groove 130.

[0039] Two convex seats 141 are provided side by side on the front surface of the arc-shaped swing piece 140. The lower half of each convex seat 141 is provided with a bayonet 142, and the upper half of each convex seat 141 is provided with an arc-shaped sliding groove 143. A positioning clamping table 144 is provided at the middle position of each convex seat 141, i.e., the remaining part of the convex seat 141 not provided with the bayonet 142 and the arc-shaped sliding groove 143. The positioning clamping table 144 is used in cooperation with the outer cover box 200, and specifically, the positioning clamping table 144 is used to limit the outer edge rim 211 of the top side coaming 210 of the outer cover box 200.

[0040] When the protection device is in the buckling state, the back plate frame 100 is closed with the cover box 200, and the outer edge rim 211 of the top side wall 210 is flush with the top end of the back plate frame 100. When the protection device needs to be opened, the cover box 200 is lifted upward, and in the process of upward turning of the cover box 200, the outer edge rim 211 of the top side wall 210 first enters the arc-shaped sliding groove 143, slides along the arc-shaped sliding groove 143, and is in contact with the positioning clamping table 144, at which time the positioning clamping table 144 plays a limiting role. Continue to exert force to turn the cover box 200 upward, the outer edge rim 211 of the top side wall 210 will extrude the positioning clamping table 144, so that the arc-shaped swing piece 140 swings to the rear side until the outer edge rim 211 of the top side wall 210 passes the positioning clamping table 144 and enters the clamping hole 142, and the arc-shaped swing piece 140 returns to the original position. At this time, the cover box 200 is substantially 90° with the back plate frame 100, and after the user releases his hand, the positioning clamping table 144 will prevent the outer edge rim 211 of the top side wall 210 from passing the positioning clamping table 144 back into the arc-shaped sliding groove 143, that is, the positioning clamping table 144 again plays a limiting role, so that the cover box 200 remains in a horizontal state, that is, so that the protection device is in an open state.

[0041] When the protection device needs to be closed, the cover box 200 is gently pressed downward, so that the outer edge rim 211 of the top side wall 210 passes the positioning clamping table 144 back into the arc-shaped sliding groove 143, at which time the cover box 200 automatically falls under the action of its own gravity and buckles on the back plate frame 100. The back plate frame 100 is structurally designed in this embodiment, and the clamping hole 142, the arc-shaped sliding groove 143, the positioning clamping table 144 and the like are arranged on the turning positioning plate 120 and can be used in cooperation with the cover box 200. When the cover box 200 is opened and is 90° with the back plate frame, positioning and fixing are achieved, and when the cover box 200 needs to be closed, it only needs to be gently pressed downward, and when the cover box 200 is less than 90° with the back plate frame 100, it automatically falls down. Not only is the structure simple and stable, but also is convenient to operate and facilitates single-handed opening and closing and plugging and unplugging operation of the user.

[0042] The bottom of the back plate frame 100 is provided with an elongated groove 150, which is used in cooperation with the locking hook 400 to realize the mounting of the locking hook 400. One end of the locking hook 400 is provided with a backbend part 410 matched with the elongated groove 150, and the matching means that the deformability of the backbend part 410 is utilized to make the backbend part 410 pass through the elongated groove 150 and hook on the back plate frame 100.

[0043] The other end of the locking hook 400 is provided with a back-bent elbow 420, so that when the cover box 200 is buckled on the back plate frame 100, the locking hook 400 is rotated upward until the end of the back-bent elbow 420 is pressed on the cover box 200, at which time the cover box 200 is locked, avoiding accidental opening of the cover box 200. When locking is not needed, the locking hook 400 naturally hangs down, but still hangs on the bottom of the back plate frame 100, at which time the back-bent elbow 420 can be used to hang wires, plugs and other items, thereby enhancing the functionality of the device.

[0044] The cover box 200 includes a front end panel 220, a top side panel 210, a bottom side panel 230, and side edge panels 240 on both sides of the front end panel 220, and the top side panel 210, the bottom side panel 230 and the side edge panels 240 are arranged around the four sides of the front end panel 220. The front end panel 220, the top side panel 210, the bottom side panel 230 and the two side edge panels 240 together form a housing structure with an opening at the back to accommodate the switch socket and the plug inserted into the switch socket and other structures.

[0045] The bottom of the front end panel 220 is provided with an extension platform 221, and the front surface of the front end panel 220 is provided with a locking slot 222 for accommodating the end of the back-bent elbow 420, so as to be combined with the locking hook 400 to enhance the locking effect. The design of the extension platform 221 and the locking slot 222 makes the connection between the locking hook 400 and the cover box 200 more firm, reducing looseness and falling off caused by vibration or external force.

[0046] The bottom side panel 230 is provided with a wire bundle through slot 231 for facilitating the passage of the wire bundle. This design can keep the wire bundle neat and avoid accumulation of the wire bundle at the bottom of the cover box, and also facilitates management and maintenance of the wire bundle.

[0047] The inner walls of the back plate frame 100 are symmetrically provided with first socket type adaptation pieces 500 on the left and right sides, and the first socket type adaptation pieces 500 are provided with clamping pieces 510, the ends of which are provided with semicircular notches 520 for adapting to switch sockets of specific sizes. The inner walls of the back plate frame 100 are symmetrically provided with second socket type adaptation pieces 600 on the upper and lower sides, and the second socket type adaptation pieces 600 are provided with long circular holes 610 for further adapting the size of the switch socket. The first socket type adaptation pieces 500 and the second socket type adaptation pieces 600 are connected to the back plate frame 100 through a plurality of pre-connection blocks 700, which are used to easily break when needed, so as to facilitate removal of the adaptation pieces.

[0048] When the first socket model adapter piece 500 and the second socket model adapter piece 600 are fixed on the back plate frame 100, the protection device can adapt to the switch socket of specific size. At this time, the design of the semicircular notch 520 and the long round hole 610 allows the screw for fixing the switch socket to pass through, thereby firmly fixing the switch socket on the wall surface. If it is necessary to adapt to the switch socket of larger size, the first socket model adapter piece 500 and the second socket model adapter piece 600 can be removed, and in the removal process, the pre-connection block 700 will be broken, thereby releasing the adapter piece, so that the back plate frame 100 can adapt to the switch socket of larger size. By removing and replacing the adapter piece, the protection device can adapt to the switch socket of different sizes, providing high flexibility. The design of the pre-connection block 700 makes the installation and removal of the adapter piece simple and fast.

[0049] The top two sides of the back plate frame 100 are also provided with first hinges 160, and the outer side of the first hinges 160 is provided with a rotating shaft 170. The inner side of the side guard plate 240 is provided with a second hinge 241 corresponding to the first hinge 160 of the back plate frame 100. The second hinge 241 is provided with a shaft hole 242, and the size of the shaft hole 242 is designed to accommodate the rotating shaft 170. When the cover box 200 is assembled with the back plate frame 100, the rotating shaft 170 is embedded into the shaft hole 242 of the second hinge 241, thereby realizing the hinged connection of the two, so that the cover box 200 can be flipped around the back plate frame 100 with the rotating shaft 170 as the axis. The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within 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.
