Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wall switch and socket technology, and specifically to a wall switch that is easy to use. Background Technology
[0002] As technology advances, people's demands for everyday products are also increasing, especially in daily life. Wall sockets are essential household appliances for connecting electrical appliances. However, current wall sockets are generally fixed to the wall, and for convenience, aesthetics, and concealment, they are often placed very close to the ground. Since a room typically doesn't have many sockets, this limits the length of appliances with shorter cords. To address these issues, the concept of extendable wall switches has emerged. This extension design lowers the switch's height or extends the reach of the arm. Human-centered switch designs have garnered widespread attention and research. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a user-friendly wall switch socket design that can extend the cable of the socket panel to be used as a plug by detaching the socket panel from the wall, making it convenient for use when the cord of everyday electrical appliances is not long enough.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a wall switch that is easy to use, including a mounting shell fixed to the wall and a socket part that can be detached from the mounting shell. The socket part includes a panel and a cable part. The cable part is provided with a cable winding assembly. The cable winding assembly is connected to a cable that extends into the mounting shell.

[0014] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0015] like Figure 1-4The wall switch shown includes a mounting housing 1 fixed to the wall and a socket part 2 that can be detached from the mounting housing 1. The socket part 2 includes a panel 21 and a cable part 22. The cable part 22 is provided with a cable winding assembly 23. The cable winding assembly 23 is connected to a cable 3 that extends into the mounting housing 1. The mounting housing 1 is also provided with a locking assembly 24, which is used to install the socket part 2 and prevent it from detaching.
[0016] As a further provision of the above solution, the cable winding assembly 23 includes a winding wheel 231 with a winding spring 232, a limiting wheel 235 that rotates coaxially with the winding wheel 231, an elastic telescopic rod 233 for locking the limiting wheel 235 to restrict its rotation, and a spring member 234. The front end of the elastic telescopic rod 233 is provided with a locking block 236, and the limiting wheel 235 is provided with a plurality of locking grooves 237. The locking block 236 is matched and engaged with the locking grooves 237.
[0017] As a further provision of the above solution, the locking component 24 includes at least one set of rotating locking buttons 25 located on the mounting shell 1. The rotating locking buttons 25 are connected to a locking plate 26. The mounting shell 1 has a notch 11 relative to the socket part 2. The locking plate 26 is driven by the rotating locking buttons 25 to extend out of the notch 11 and into the slot 20 provided on the socket part 2 to restrict its disengagement relative to the mounting shell 1.
[0018] As a further provision of the above solution, the socket part 2 is also provided with a spring-opening component 5. The spring-opening component 5 includes at least one set of telescopic rods 51, telescopic seat 52 and top spring 53. The mounting shell 1 is provided with a top-opening step surface 12. The top spring 53 is used to drive the telescopic rods 51 to pop out and abut against the top-opening step surface 12.
[0019] refer to Figure 1-2 The wall switch structure shown in this embodiment includes a mounting shell 1 and a socket part 2. In this embodiment, the socket part 2 rotates by rotating the locking button 25, thereby driving the locking plate 26 to rotate. Under the action of rotational force, the locking plate 26 can be disengaged from the slot 20 of the socket part 2, thereby releasing the restriction on the socket part 2. At this time, the socket part 2 can be detached from the mounting shell 1 and pulled out.
[0020] Furthermore, since the outer surface of the socket portion 2 in this embodiment is substantially flush with the surface of the mounting housing 1, and to facilitate the removal of the socket portion 2, the socket portion 2 in this embodiment is also provided with a spring-loaded component 5 for reference. Figure 3The spring-opening assembly 5 is provided with a telescopic seat 52, and a top spring 53 is provided inside the telescopic seat 52. The telescopic rod 51 extends outward from the telescopic seat 52 through the top spring 53. After the locking assembly 24 unlocks the socket part 2, the telescopic rod 51 is pushed by the elastic force of the top spring 53, and pushes against the opening step surface 12, thereby pushing the socket part 2 out of the mounting shell 1.
[0021] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cable winding assembly 23 winds up the cable 3 via a winding wheel 231 equipped with a winding spring 232, so that the cable 3 can be wound up without external interference. Figure 4 The locking block 236 shown is engaged in the groove of the locking slot 237, and the spring 234 drives the elastic telescopic rod 233 based on its own elastic force. Figure 4 As shown, when moving to the left, the locking part 236 at the front end of the elastic telescopic rod 233 engages in the locking groove 237. Based on the opening shape design of the locking groove 237, the rotation of the reel 231 is restricted, causing the cable 3 to retract. When the cable 3 is pulled out, the reel 231, based on the locking wheel 235 and the locking part 236, rotates counterclockwise. Due to the opening shape design of the locking groove 237, it slightly pushes the elastic telescopic rod 233 to move in the opposite direction, thereby allowing the reel 231 to rotate normally. As a result, the cable 3 continues to be wound out, and the coil spring 232 elastically compresses and stores force. In addition, when the socket part 2 is stored, by pressing the elastic telescopic rod 233, the cable 3 is driven by the coil spring 232 to drive the locking wheel 235 to rotate, which drives the reel 231 to wind the cable 3. When the socket part 2 is finally inserted into the mounting shell 1, the elastic telescopic rod 233 abuts against the inner wall of the mounting shell 1 and retracts. The cable 3 continues to be wound into the reel 231, completing the storage.
[0022] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of this utility model and its equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
