Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wall switch technology, and more specifically to a panel assembly used in switch sockets. Background Technology
[0002] Switches and sockets are commonly used to connect or disconnect electrical appliances. As living standards improve, users are no longer limited to the basic functions of switches and sockets, and their requirements for their design are also gradually increasing. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a panel assembly for use in switch sockets.

[0021] 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.
[0022] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0024] As attached Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a panel assembly for a switch and socket, including a panel frame 1 and a panel body 2. The panel body 2 is disposed on the panel frame 1. The panel frame 1 has at least one curved surface 3, and a curved end 4 protrudes from the curved surface 3. The panel body 2 is bent towards the curved end 4 to form a panel arc portion 5. The panel arc portion 5 and the curved end 4 connect to form an arc structure. Specifically, in this design, by providing a curved end 4 on the curved surface 3 of the panel frame 1, the curved end 4 can connect with the panel arc portion 5 on the panel body 2, thereby forming a smooth and aesthetically pleasing arc structure. This design not only improves the overall appearance and texture of the switch and socket but also enhances the structural strength of the panel assembly. The tight connection between the panel arc portion 5 and the curved end 4 effectively prevents dust from entering the interior of the switch and socket, improving the product's durability and safety.
[0025] Reference Appendix Figure 1-4 Furthermore, the panel body 2 covers the panel frame 1, partially obscuring the side of the panel frame 1 away from the wall. Specifically, in this embodiment, the bottom height of the panel body 2 is higher than the bottom height of the panel frame 1. This structure creates a height difference between the bottom of the panel frame 1 and the bottom of the panel body 2. Both the bottom of the panel frame 1 and the bottom of the panel body 2 are curved, which increases the sense of layering between the panel body 2 and the panel frame 1. The curved bottoms of both the frame body and the panel body 2 enhance the aesthetics and safety of the switch, reducing sharp corners and edges to prevent injury to children.
[0026] Reference Appendix Figure 5 In another embodiment, the panel body 2 completely covers the panel frame 1, completely concealing the side of the panel frame 1 away from the wall. This structural arrangement enhances the overall aesthetics of the panel assembly and improves its stability after installation. Furthermore, it reduces the likelihood of dust entering the switch socket through the gap between the panel body 2 and the panel frame 1, thus improving the product's dustproof performance.
[0027] Furthermore, the curved end 4 and the panel frame 1 are integrally structured. The curved end 4 has a supporting plane 6 and an arc surface 7. The arc surface 7 extends from the end of the supporting plane 6 away from the curved part 3 towards the end face of the panel frame 1 away from the panel body 2 and connects with it. The panel arc portion 5 on the panel body 2 connects with the supporting plane 6. Specifically, in this embodiment, the arc surface 7 and the panel arc portion 5 on the panel body 2 form an arc structure, making the transition between the panel body 2 and the panel frame 1 smoother, improving both aesthetics and safety.
[0028] Further, see attached document. Figure 1-5 As shown, the panel frame 1 has two symmetrical side portions 8, which are flush with the two sides of the arc end 4. A groove structure 9 is formed by recessing the side portions 8. Specifically, in this embodiment, the groove structure 9 on the two side portions 8 of the panel frame 1 enhances its aesthetics. Since the groove structure 9 is equivalent to the edge of the side portion 8 of the panel frame 1 protruding to form a ring structure, it acts as a reinforcing rib, thereby increasing the structural strength of the panel frame 1, preventing deformation during use, and improving the durability of the panel assembly.
[0029] Further, see attached document. Figure 6 As shown, the panel frame 1 has two symmetrical side portions 8, which are flush with the two sides of the curved end 4, and the side portions 8 are arranged in a planar structure. Specifically, in this embodiment, the planar structure of the side portions 8 makes the panel frame 1 more concise and elegant, and easier to clean. The planar structure of the side portions 8 is easier to realize during the processing and manufacturing process, reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.
[0030] Furthermore, two curved surfaces 3 are provided, one at the top and one at the bottom of the panel frame 1, respectively, and the other curved end 4 is provided on one of the two curved surfaces 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, the curved surfaces 3 provided at the top and bottom of the panel frame 1 make the overall structure of the panel frame 1 smoother, reducing sharp corners and edges, thereby improving safety and preventing accidental touch or injury by children. When the panel body 2 is a switch button, at least one side of the switch button maintains constant contact with the curved surface 7 and the curved end 4 on the curved surface 3 to form a curved structure. When the switch body is a socket panel, both the upper and lower sides of the socket panel maintain constant contact with the curved surface 7 and the curved end 4 on the curved surface 3 to form a curved structure. This design not only enhances the aesthetics of the socket panel but also improves safety, reducing potential accidental injuries caused by overly sharp corners.
[0031] Furthermore, the two curved surfaces 3 include an upper curved surface 10 and a lower curved surface 11. The curved end 4 is disposed on the upper curved surface 10, and the curvature of the curved end 4 is consistent with that of the lower curved surface 11, but greater than that of the upper curved surface 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, the curvature of the curved end 4 is consistent with that of the lower curved surface 11, and greater than that of the upper curved surface 10. This structural arrangement allows the panel assembly to better match the external contour of the switch socket when installed, thereby improving installation stability and aesthetics. In addition, because the curvature of the curved end 4 is greater than that of the upper curved surface 10, this design not only increases the three-dimensionality and layering of the panel assembly but also provides a more comfortable feel for the user when touching or operating it.
[0032] Furthermore, a middle plate connecting groove 12 is formed on the side of the panel frame 1 away from the panel body 2. Specifically, in this embodiment, the middle plate connecting groove 12 is used to engage with the middle plate of the switch socket to achieve a stable connection between the panel assembly and the middle plate of the switch socket. The shape and size of the middle plate connecting groove 12 match the middle plate to ensure that the middle plate can be accurately and firmly embedded in the connecting groove.
[0033] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
