Therefore, the directional and positional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this is an embodiment of the present invention. A switch or socket panel with a decorative clip is used for installation on a base box. It includes a mounting panel 1, a decorative clip 2, and a base plate 3. The decorative clip 2 is disposed between the mounting panel 1 and the base plate 3. Several buckles 4 protrude from one end face of the mounting panel 1 near the decorative clip 2. Several slots 5 are provided on the base plate 3 for the buckles 4 to engage. Several buckles 4 pass through the decorative clip 2 and engage with the corresponding slots 5. One side of the mounting panel 1 has a notch 6 that tapers towards the center. The decorative clip 2 has a front decorative surface 7 exposed at the position corresponding to the notch 6.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: the panel of this utility model can be adapted to both switches and sockets. The panel adopts a modular structure, and through the detachable connection of buckles and slots, the connection between the mounting panel and the base plate forms a reversible mechanical lock, realizing tool-free disassembly and assembly of the decorative clip. The modular structure not only facilitates disassembly and assembly but also allows for independent replacement of the middle decorative clip. The decorative clip can be made of various materials and colors, and the decoration of the panel can be changed according to different user needs or different usage scenarios. In particular, the decorative clip, relative to the exposed decorative surface of the mounting panel, can more intuitively present the decorative effect. During disassembly, the notch of the mounting panel forms an ergonomic force application point, which can accurately apply leverage to pry up the mounting panel, separating the buckles and slots, making disassembly more effortless.

[0026] Furthermore, the four sides of the decorative clamp 2 form exposed side decorative surfaces 8 relative to the four sides of the mounting panel 1 and the four sides of the base plate 3.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: the side decorative surface can present a decorative effect from all angles of the panel, and the side decorative surface and the front decorative surface form a continuous decorative surface, maintaining the integrity, unity and extensibility of the decoration, further enhancing the visual appeal of the product, creating a visual thinning effect, and the material or texture of the side decorative surface effectively weakens the visual thickness of the panel.

[0028] Furthermore, several of the buckles 4 are located near the four sides of the mounting panel 1. The mounting panel 1 has at least two buckles 4 on each side, and the two buckles 4 on each side of the mounting panel 1 are evenly distributed along the direction of the corresponding side.

[0029] The advantages of this design are as follows: the mounting panel has buckles on all four sides, and the slots on the base plate are also set accordingly, so all four sides can be locked. Each side has at least two buckles, and the four corners can also fit tightly to ensure the connection strength.

[0030] Furthermore, the mounting panel 1 has at least one protrusion 9 protruding from one side near the notch 6. The decorative clamping plate 2 and the base plate 3 are respectively provided with at least one first slot 10 and a second slot 11 through which the protrusion 9 passes. The protrusion 9 passes through the first slot 10 of the decorative clamping plate 2 and the second slot 11 of the base plate 3 in sequence.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: during disassembly, pressing the protrusion helps the buckle and slot separate quickly, increasing the gap between the mounting panel and the decorative clip. By applying leverage into the gap, the mounting panel can be easily disassembled, further improving disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0032] Furthermore, the mounting panel 1 has two protrusions 9 on one side near the notch 6. The two protrusions 9 are positioned far apart from each other and are respectively located near the corresponding corner of the mounting panel 1. Each of the protrusions 9 is positioned between two clips 4.

[0033] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: the two protrusions help to disperse stress. When removing the mounting panel, pressing on both protrusions allows the side of the mounting panel closest to the notch to be pried up, preventing individual bending and deformation and reducing the risk of damage.

[0034] Furthermore, the inner width of both the first slot 10 and the second slot 11 is greater than the thickness of the protrusion 9.

[0035] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: when the bump is pressed, the bump will rotate at a small angle relative to the lifting of the mounting panel. Both the first and second slots have an inner width greater than the thickness of the bump, providing the bump with more room to move. The bump can be smoothly separated from the first and second slots.

[0036] Furthermore, the end of the buckle 4 is bent to have a snap-fit ​​portion 12, and the inner wall of the slot 5 extends to have a snap-fit ​​platform 13 for the snap-fit ​​portion 12 to abut against.

[0037] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: the snap-fit ​​part of the buckle snaps into the snap-fit ​​platform of the slot. For each side of the buckle and slot, the direction of the snap-fit ​​platform and snap-fit ​​part corresponds to the corresponding side, and they are all close to the edge, so that each side can be firmly connected and cannot be disassembled at will.

[0038] Furthermore, the base plate 3 is provided with at least one mounting hole 14 for mating with the base box on the side near the notch 6.

[0039] The advantages of this design are as follows: the mounting holes installed on only one side can fix the installation direction of the base plate and the base box, preventing reverse installation and improving installation efficiency.

[0040] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
