Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal button box technology, and specifically to a metal button box. Background Technology

[0002] Metal push button boxes for electrical switches are electrical boxes used to house one or more push button switches within a metal enclosure. They protect the electrical switches and facilitate button operation. Typically made of metal, they possess good conductivity and mechanical strength, effectively resisting external physical impacts and electromagnetic interference, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the control system.

[0003] The prior art patent publication number CN217008996U discloses a corrosion-resistant and durable metal button box for electrical switches. By setting a protective rubber sleeve on the outside of the metal button box body, the impact force generated when the outside is hit is buffered. However, in the use of the above patent, since the button is located directly outside the metal button box body through the button slot, external dust and moisture can easily enter the metal button box body through the gap between the button slot and the button. The metal button box body does not have corresponding anti-accidental touch measures, which makes it easy to accidentally touch. At present, some button boxes have hinged covers to block the button and prevent accidental touch, but they need to be opened to operate, which is not convenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a metal button box, which can prevent accidental touches, improve ease of operation, and enhance waterproof and dustproof performance.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a metal button box, comprising a button box body, a button body, and a protective sleeve fitted over the button box body. The button body is disposed inside the button box body. A button groove is provided on the top of the button box body for the button body to pass through. A protective component is movably installed on the outside of the button body. An anti-accidental touch component is movably installed on the top of the button box body. The anti-accidental touch component includes a cylinder fixedly installed on the top of the button box body. An installation groove is provided inside the cylinder. A rotating shaft is movably engaged inside the installation groove. A first protrusion is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft. A second protrusion is fixedly connected to the inside of the cylinder. A torsion spring is movably installed on the outside of the rotating shaft. A horizontal plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft. A shielding sleeve covering the button body is fixedly connected to both ends of the horizontal plate.

[0006] The protective cover is made of rubber and is placed over the button box to provide cushioning and protection.

[0007] Preferably, the first protrusion is located on the upper outer side of the rotating shaft, the second protrusion is located on the lower inner side of the cylinder, and the torsion spring is movably engaged between the first protrusion and the second protrusion.

[0008] Preferably, the shielding sleeve is rotationally symmetrically arranged, and the position of the shielding sleeve corresponds to the position of the button slot.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the shielding sleeve is semicircularly arranged.

[0010] Preferably, the button box body includes a lower box body and an upper box body. A clamping edge of an integral structure is arranged at the top of the lower box body. The clamping edge is movably clamped inside the upper box body. Fixing holes are respectively arranged on the side surfaces of the clamping edge and the upper box body, and fixing bolts are movably installed inside the fixing holes.

[0011] Preferably, the protection component includes a protection rubber sleeve. A convex edge is arranged on the side of the protection rubber sleeve.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a metal button box, including a button box body 1, a button body 2, and a protective sleeve 6 fitted over the button box body 1. The button body 2 is disposed inside the button box body 1. A button groove 3 is formed on the top of the button box body 1 for the button body 2 to pass through. A protective component 4 is movably installed on the outside of the button body 2. An anti-accidental touch component 5 is movably installed on the top of the button box body 1. The anti-accidental touch component 5 includes a cylinder 51 fixedly installed on the top of the button box body 1. An installation groove 52 is formed inside the cylinder 51. A rotating shaft 53 is movably engaged inside the installation groove 52. A protrusion 54 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 53. The inner side is fixedly connected to a second protrusion 55, and a torsion spring 56 is movably installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 53. A horizontal plate 57 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 53. Both ends of the horizontal plate 57 are respectively fixedly connected to a cover sleeve 59 covering the outside of the button body 2. The cover sleeve 59 covers the outside of the protective component 4 to prevent accidental contact. When operating, pressing the cover sleeve 59 with a finger rotates it counterclockwise, causing the rotating shaft 53 to rotate counterclockwise, compressing the torsion spring 56 located between the first protrusion 54 and the second protrusion 55. The cover sleeve 59 is removed from the top of the protective component 4, and can be operated directly with another finger. After releasing, the elasticity of the torsion spring 56 makes the cover sleeve 59 return to its original position. It can be operated with one hand, which is flexible and convenient, and makes it more convenient and faster to use.

[0024] The bump one 54 is arranged above the outside of the rotating shaft 53, the bump two 55 is arranged below the inside of the cylinder 51, the torsion spring 56 is movably clamped between the bump one 54 and the bump two 55. When the shielding sleeve 59 is pressed and rotated, it is compressed between the bump one 54 and the bump two 55, storing elastic potential energy. After being released, it provides a reliable elastic force for the reset of the shielding sleeve 59, pushing the shielding sleeve 59 to rotate clockwise and accurately resetting to the initial position, always ensuring the protection effect on the button body 2 and the protection component 4.

[0025] The bottom of the shielding sleeve 59 is semicircularly arranged.

[0026] The shielding sleeve 59 is rotationally symmetrically arranged, and the position of the shielding sleeve 59 corresponds to the position of the button slot 3. The rotationally symmetrically arranged shielding sleeve 59 avoids blocking the button body 2 when rotating counterclockwise and can be quickly moved away. The shielding sleeve 59 corresponds to the position of the button slot 3. After the shielding sleeve 59 is rotated and opened, the button body 2 in the button slot 3 can be quickly and accurately operated.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The button box main body 1 includes a lower box body 11 and an upper box body 12. A clamping edge 13 of an integral structure is arranged at the top of the lower box body 11. The clamping edge 13 is movably clamped inside the upper box body 12. Fixing holes 14 are opened on the sides of the clamping edge 13 and the upper box body 12. A fixing bolt 15 is movably installed inside the fixing hole 14. The lower box body 11 and the upper box body 12 are docked by the clamping edge 13 being inserted into the bottom of the upper box body 12. A sealing strip is arranged on the outer extension of the clamping edge 13 to ensure the connection seal. After the fixing holes 14 outside the clamping edge 13 and the upper box body 12 coincide, the fixing bolt 15 is screwed into the fixing hole 14 for connection and fixation. The lower box body 11 and the upper box body 12 are tightly sealed and connected, improving the waterproof and dustproof effects.

[0028] The protection component 4 includes a protection rubber sleeve 41. A convex edge 42 is arranged on the side of the protection rubber sleeve 41. An extrusion groove 16 located outside the button slot 3 is opened at the top of the upper box body 12. The convex edge 42 is clamped inside the extrusion groove 16. The protection rubber sleeve 41 is sleeved outside the button body 2. By correspondingly clamping the protection rubber sleeve 41 into the extrusion groove 16 opened inside the upper box body 12 by using the convex edge 42, after the lower box body 11 and the upper box body 12 are connected and fixed, the convex edge 42 is pressed tightly in the extrusion groove 16, improving the connection seal effect at the button slot 3 and preventing external dust and moisture from entering.

[0029] The cross-section of the protection component 4 is arranged in a "ji" shape, which can better fit the shape of the button body 2 and provide all-round wrapping protection for the button.

[0030] Working principle: In the non-operated state, the cover 59 covers the outside of the protective component 4, while the button body 2 is located inside the protective component 4, thus preventing accidental touch. When operating, press the cover 59 with your finger and rotate it counterclockwise. The cover 59 drives the horizontal plate 57 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 53 to rotate counterclockwise inside the mounting groove 52. This compresses the torsion spring 56 located between the first protrusion 54 and the second protrusion 55, causing the cover 59 to move away from the top of the protective component 4, thus exposing the protective component 4 located outside the button body 2. Then, you can directly press the protective component 4 with another finger, and the deformation of the protective component 4 will press down the button body 2 for use. After releasing, the torsion spring 56 releases its elasticity, driving the rotating shaft 53 to rotate, causing the cover 59 to reset and cover the outside of the protective component 4 to provide protection. It can be operated flexibly and conveniently with one hand, making it faster to use.

[0031] During installation, the lower box 11 and upper box 12 are connected by inserting the protective rubber sleeve 41 into the compression groove 16 inside the upper box 12 using the protruding edge 42. The protective rubber sleeve 41 passes through the button groove 3 and is located outside the upper box 12. Then, the retaining edge 13 is inserted into the bottom of the upper box 12 to connect the lower box 11 and the upper box 12. A sealing strip is provided on the outer edge of the retaining edge 13 to ensure a sealed connection. After the retaining edge 13 and the fixing hole 14 on the outside of the upper box 12 are aligned, the fixing bolt 15 is screwed into the fixing hole 14 to connect and fix the connection. The tight sealing connection between the lower box 11 and the upper box 12, with the protruding edge 42 pressed into the compression groove 16, improves the sealing effect and prevents external moisture and dust from entering the button box body 1. The above is the working process of the entire device. All contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
