Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dimming switches, and more specifically, to a dimming switch that is easy to assemble. Background Technology

[0002] A dimmer switch is an electrical device that adjusts the brightness of a light fixture. It is widely used in various environments, including homes and commercial spaces. In a circuit, the brightness of the light fixture is controlled by changing the resistance, which in turn adjusts the current. When the resistance increases, the current in the circuit decreases, and the light fixture becomes dimmer; conversely, the resistance decreases, the current increases, and the light fixture becomes brighter. However, this method suffers from significant energy loss because the resistor consumes electrical energy and generates heat during the adjustment process.

[0003] Dimmer switches are usually fixed with screws during installation. However, they need to be disassembled with a screwdriver during maintenance, which is quite troublesome. In addition, because the sides of the dimmer switch are relatively smooth, after removing the screws, the dimmer switch still needs to be manually removed, which is a tedious process and reduces assembly efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this by proposing a dimming switch that is easy to assemble. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problem that the sides of existing dimmer switches are relatively smooth, and after removing the screws, the dimmer switch still needs to be manually removed, which is a rather cumbersome process.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides an easy-to-assemble dimmer switch to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0007] The present invention is as follows:

[0008] The device includes an upper outer shell and a lower outer shell. Both ends of the upper and lower outer shells are connected to threaded tubes. The threaded tubes are U-shaped and have slots on the side away from the opening. Connecting rods are rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the slots. Movable plates are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the connecting rods. Return springs are fixedly connected to the movable plates near the slot surfaces. The other end of the return springs is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the slot. Threaded sleeves are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded tubes.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the upper surface of the upper shell is provided with a groove, the bottom surface of the groove has a number of adjustment buttons arranged in a linear array, and the bottom surface of the groove has a number of indicator lights arranged in a linear array.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a number of insert rods are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper shell, and the insert rods are symmetrically distributed in pairs at the four corners of the upper shell.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a number of insert plates are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper shell, and the insert plates are symmetrically distributed on the inner sidewall of the upper shell.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a circuit board is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower outer shell, and plug blocks corresponding to the plug plate are symmetrically installed on the inner sidewall of the lower outer shell, and the plug plate and the plug blocks are plugged in.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a plug is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the lower outer shell, and the plug corresponds to and is plugged into the plug rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] When disassembling the dimmer switch, first rotate the threaded sleeve. During rotation, the threaded sleeve disengages from the threaded tube. When the threaded tube disengages, the movable plate that was in contact with it loses its pressure. At the same time, due to the elasticity of the return spring, the movable plate is pressed and reset. During the reset process, the movable plate pops out. After popping out, the movable plate can be pulled. During the pulling process, the upper outer shell and the lower outer shell are separated, thus disassembling the dimmer switch. Similarly, rotating the threaded sleeve in the opposite direction fixes the threaded tube to the threaded sleeve. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] As in the background technology, the sides of the dimmer switch are relatively smooth, and after removing the screws, the dimmer switch still needs to be manually removed, which is a rather cumbersome process.

[0029] To solve this technical problem, this utility model provides an easy-to-assemble dimmer switch, which is used for the rapid assembly and disassembly of dimmer switches.

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0032] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0033] An easily assembled dimming switch includes an upper housing 101 and a lower housing 102. Both ends of the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102 are connected by threaded tubes 103. The threaded tubes 103 are U-shaped and have slots 104 away from the opening. Connecting rods 105 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of both sides of the slots 104. A movable plate 106 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting rods 105. A return spring 107 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 106 near the slot 104. The other end of the return spring 107 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the slot. A threaded sleeve 108 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded tubes 103.

[0034] When disassembling the dimmer switch, first rotate the threaded sleeve 108. During the rotation, the threaded sleeve 108 disengages from the threaded tube 103. When the threaded tube 103 disengages, the movable plate 106 that was in contact with it is no longer compressed. At the same time, due to the elasticity of the return spring 107, the movable plate 106 is compressed and reset. During the reset process, the movable plate 106 pops out. After popping out, the movable plate 106 can be pulled. During the pulling process, the movable plate 106 causes the upper outer shell 101 to separate from the lower outer shell 102, thereby disassembling the dimmer switch. Similarly, rotating the threaded sleeve 108 in the opposite direction fixes the threaded tube 103 to the threaded sleeve 108.

[0035] The upper surface of the outer casing 101 is provided with a groove 201, and the bottom surface of the groove 201 has a number of adjustment buttons 202 arranged in a straight line, and the bottom surface of the groove 201 has a number of indicator lights 203 arranged in a straight line.

[0036] The linear array of adjustment buttons 202 on the bottom surface of the groove 201 is used to adjust the light intensity, and the linear array of indicator lights 203 on the bottom surface of the groove 201 is used to display the working status of the dimming switch.

[0037] Several insert rods 301 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper outer shell 101. The insert rods 301 are symmetrically distributed in pairs at the four corners of the upper outer shell 101.

[0038] Several rods 301 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper outer shell 101 can be inserted into the plug 601 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower outer shell 102. The insertion of the plug 601 and the rods 301 can fix the upper outer shell 101 and the lower outer shell 102.

[0039] Several insert plates 401 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper outer shell 101, and the insert plates 401 are symmetrically distributed on the inner sidewall of the upper outer shell 101. A circuit board 501 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower outer shell 102, and insert blocks 502 corresponding to the insert plates 401 are symmetrically installed on the inner sidewall of the lower outer shell 102, and the insert plates 401 and insert blocks 502 are inserted into each other. An insert barrel 601 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the lower outer shell 102, and the insert barrel 601 corresponds to and is inserted into the insert rod 301.

[0040] The insert plate 401 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper housing 101 can be inserted into the insert block 502 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower housing 102. The insertion of the insert plate 401 and the insert rod 301 can realize the assembly and fixation of the upper housing 101 and the lower housing 102. The circuit board 501 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower housing 102 is used to connect the dimming button and the indicator light 203 to control the dimming switch for dimming.

[0041] The usage process of the easy-to-assemble dimmer switch provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0042] When disassembling the dimmer switch, first rotate the threaded sleeve 108. During the rotation, the threaded sleeve 108 disengages from the threaded tube 103. When the threaded tube 103 disengages, the movable plate 106 that was in contact with it is no longer compressed. At the same time, due to the elasticity of the return spring 107, the movable plate 106 is compressed and reset. During the reset process, the movable plate 106 pops out. After popping out, the movable plate 106 can be pulled. During the pulling process, the movable plate 106 causes the upper outer shell 101 to separate from the lower outer shell 102, thereby disassembling the dimmer switch. Similarly, rotating the threaded sleeve 108 in the opposite direction fixes the threaded tube 103 to the threaded sleeve 108.
