Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical connector technology, specifically to a socket. Background Technology

[0002] Wall sockets, also known as wall surface sockets, are a common type of socket. These sockets are installed on walls, floors, or other locations to provide power and signal connectors. Traditional wall socket covers and panels typically protrude from the wall. They are mounted on the outside of a mounting box on the wall, with a mounting boss on each side of the inner wall of the box. The cover is bolted to these mounting bosses. Because only two bolts are used, the cover and panel cannot be completely secured after installation, allowing the socket to wobble and move within a certain range. Additional adhesive is needed for further fixation. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a socket that can securely install the panel inside the mounting box.

[0004] This utility model discloses a socket, including a mounting bracket, a support frame, and a panel disposed on the support frame. The mounting bracket has a first mounting hole in the middle, which is bolted to a mounting boss on a mounting box. The mounting bracket has second mounting holes on both sides, which are bolted to the support frame.

[0005] Preferably, the mounting box has a mounting boss on each of its two sides;

[0006] A support plate is provided on one side of the mounting bracket, and the support plate cooperates with the side wall of the mounting box.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting box is provided with a first mounting groove, and the mounting boss is fixed in the first mounting groove;

[0008] The mounting bracket is provided with a limiting boss that mates with the first mounting groove.

[0009] Preferably, a slot is provided on one side of the first mounting slot.

[0010] The mounting boss is L-shaped.

[0011] One end of the mounting boss engages in the slot.

[0012] Preferably, the second mounting hole is higher or lower than the first mounting hole.

[0013] Preferably, the socket module and the panel are installed on the inner and outer sides of the support frame, respectively.

[0014] Preferably, a cover plate assembly is provided on the outer side of the support frame, and the panel is detachably installed on the outer side of the cover plate assembly.

[0015] Preferably, it also includes a gasket, which is disposed between the support frame and the mounting bracket, or between the mounting bracket and the mounting boss, for adjusting the position of the support frame and the panel.

[0016] Preferably, the outer side of the gasket is provided with multiple shearing grooves.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by installing the mounting boss, one mounting boss in the mounting box is converted into two first mounting holes; the two mounting bosses are converted into four second mounting holes, thereby improving the installation stability of the support frame and the panel.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0028] A type of socket 1, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a mounting bracket 3, a support frame 4, and a panel 9 disposed on the support frame 4. The mounting bracket 3 has a first mounting hole 31 in the middle, which is mounted on the mounting boss 21 of the mounting box 2 by bolts or clips. The mounting bracket 3 has second mounting holes 32 on both sides, which are mounted on the second mounting holes 32 by bolts or clips.

[0029] By installing the mounting boss 21, one mounting boss 21 inside the mounting box is converted into two first mounting holes 31; the two mounting bosses 21 are converted into four second mounting holes, thereby improving the installation stability of the support frame 4 and the panel.

[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting box 2 has a mounting boss 21 on each of its two sides. A support plate 34 is provided on one side of the mounting bracket 3, and the support plate 34 cooperates with the side wall of the mounting box. The support plate 34 rests against the side wall of the mounting box, improving the stability of the mounting bracket 3. The mounting box is provided with a first mounting groove 23, and the mounting boss 21 is fixed within the first mounting groove 23; the mounting bracket 3 is provided with a limiting boss 33 that cooperates with the first mounting groove 23. The limiting boss 33 and the first mounting groove 23 cooperate to restrict the movement space of the mounting bracket 3, improving stability. Based on the use of a general mounting box 2, the installation stability of the panel is improved, and after installation, the range of wobbling and movement of the panel is reduced.

[0031] A slot 24 is provided on one side of the first mounting groove 23, and the mounting boss 21 is L-shaped, with one end of the mounting boss 21 engaging in the slot 24. This effectively distributes the stress on the support frame, making the whole structure more robust. The second mounting hole 32 is higher or lower than the first mounting hole to accommodate the installation requirements of the support frame 4.

[0032] like Figure 1 The socket module and panel 9 are respectively installed on the inner and outer sides of the support frame 4. The socket module is used for electrical connection, and its structure is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here. A cover plate assembly 7 is provided on the outer side of the support frame 4, and the panel 9 is detachably installed on the outer side of the cover plate assembly 7.

[0033] Figure 5The structure of the gasket is shown. The gasket is disposed between the support frame 4 and the mounting bracket 3, or between the mounting bracket 3 and the mounting boss 21, for adjusting the position of the support frame and the panel. More specifically, the gasket is fitted onto the bolt to adjust the distance between the mounting bracket 3 and the mounting boss 21, or to adjust the distance between the support frame 4 and the mounting bracket 3, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the installation position of the support frame and the panel.

[0034] The gasket 6 has multiple shearing grooves 61 on its outer side, allowing for the cutting or trimming of gasket segments to appropriate heights as needed. More specifically, the distance between two adjacent shearing grooves 61 is 1mm, but it is not limited to this. After measuring the required height, simply cut out the corresponding height, and then use screws to pass through the post to connect and fix the cover plate assembly and support frame. The shearing grooves 61 can be threaded or annular. The gasket can also employ a telescopic sleeve structure, locking different lengths by pressing, but this may increase costs.

[0035] This utility model adds a mounting bracket, converting two screws into four for fixing, improving the stability of the fixation, achieving effective installation, enhancing the overall structural strength of the product, and avoiding potential safety hazards later on; it also allows it to adapt to more usage environments without affecting functionality. The installation height and distance can be adjusted using shims, improving the ease of adjustment and enabling flexible and quick adjustment of the cover plate assembly height, reducing the difficulty of manual operation.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
