Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of composite switch technology, specifically to a track mounting structure for a composite switch. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of electrical equipment, composite switches are often mounted on rails within distribution boxes, control cabinets, and other equipment for convenient installation and disassembly. Currently, the connection between composite switches and rails is mostly achieved through traditional methods such as clips and screws. While clip connections are relatively simple to install, they are prone to loosening or even falling off due to vibration, external impacts, and other factors during long-term use. This results in insufficient stability of the composite switch on the rail, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Screw connections, while offering better stability, require tools such as screwdrivers for installation and disassembly, making the process cumbersome, time-consuming, and increasing installation and maintenance costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a composite switch rail mounting structure that can ensure connection stability while facilitating quick installation and disassembly. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings in the prior art, this utility model provides a track mounting structure for a composite switch.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a track mounting structure for a composite switch, including an upper cover and a bottom shell. The bottom shell is provided with a connecting groove for connecting with the track in the middle. It also includes a locking plate assembly. One side wall of the connecting groove has an upper limit step, and the other side is provided with a locking plate groove. A horizontal plate is provided above the locking plate groove. The locking plate assembly includes a locking plate, a slide rod, and a return spring.

[0005] The locking plate is slidably disposed in the sliding hole between the horizontal plate and the locking plate groove. A locking rod step one is provided on the locking plate on one side of the horizontal plate, and a locking rod step two is provided on the locking plate on the other side of the horizontal plate.

[0006] The slide rod is slidably engaged with the through hole on the horizontal plate, and one end of the slide rod is fixedly connected to the first step of the locking rod, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second step of the locking rod.

[0007] The reset spring is fitted onto the slide bar, with one end connected to the step of the locking bar and the other end connected to the horizontal plate. The reset spring has an elastic force that pushes the locking plate toward the connecting groove.

[0008] Furthermore, a hanging hole is provided on the end of the locking plate away from the connecting groove.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting step one is provided at the end of the locking plate groove away from the connecting groove, and limiting steps two are provided on both sides of the locking plate to mutually limit the limiting step one.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking plate has an inclined surface one on one end of the connecting groove, and the inclined surface is adapted to the inclined surface two on one side of the track.

[0011] Furthermore, rubber protrusions are provided on the inclined surface.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a locking plate assembly, the locking plate can be automatically pushed towards the connecting groove side by the elastic force of the return spring. When the composite switch is engaged with the track, the locking plate can quickly snap into the track without the need for additional tools, greatly improving installation efficiency and reducing installation time and labor costs. During disassembly, the composite switch can be easily removed from the track simply by overcoming the elastic force of the return spring and moving the locking plate, making the operation simple and quick. In addition, the limiting step on one side of the connecting groove cooperates with the locking plate groove and locking plate assembly on the other side to form a stable clamping structure. The return spring can provide a stable preload force, making it less prone to loosening and enhancing the firmness of the connection.

[0013] In addition to the objectives, features and advantages described above, this utility model has other objectives, features and advantages.

[0020] 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.

[0021] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0022] This utility model provides a track mounting structure for a composite switch.

[0023] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-4 The track mounting structure of the composite switch includes an upper cover 1 and a bottom shell 3. The bottom shell 3 has a connecting groove 4 in the middle for connecting with the track 19. It also includes a locking plate assembly. One side wall of the connecting groove has an upper limit step 5, and the other side has a locking plate groove 6. A horizontal plate 7 is provided above the locking plate groove 6. The locking plate assembly includes a locking plate 8, a slide rod 9, and a return spring 10.

[0024] The locking plate is slidably disposed in the sliding hole 11 between the horizontal plate and the locking plate groove. A locking rod step 12 is provided on the locking plate on one side of the horizontal plate, and a locking rod step 23 is provided on the locking plate on the other side of the horizontal plate.

[0025] The slide rod 9 is slidably engaged with the through hole 14 on the horizontal plate 7. One end of the slide rod is fixedly connected to the first step of the locking rod, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second step of the locking rod.

[0026] The reset spring is fitted onto the slide bar, with one end connected to the step of the locking bar and the other end connected to the horizontal plate. The reset spring has an elastic force that pushes the locking plate toward the connecting groove.

[0027] In the above technical solution, the reset spring generates elastic force, pushing the locking plate to slide along the sliding hole towards the connecting groove. The slide rod serves to guide and connect different parts of the locking plate, enabling the locking plate to move stably along the preset path. When the track is inserted into the connecting groove of the composite switch, the locking plate can automatically engage with the track under the action of elastic force to achieve connection; and during disassembly, it is only necessary to overcome the elastic force of the reset spring to move the locking plate and open the connection between the locking plate and the track to complete the disassembly.

[0028] This structural design enables rapid installation and disassembly of the composite switch without the need for tools, significantly improving installation efficiency and reducing labor costs. At the same time, the cooperation between the locking plate and the rail, as well as the limiting effect of the limiting step on one side of the connecting groove, ensures the stability and reliability of the composite switch installed on the rail, effectively avoiding loosening or falling off due to vibration, external forces, or other factors.

[0029] Specifically, a hanging hole 15 is provided on the end of the locking plate away from the connecting groove.

[0030] In this embodiment, a hanging hole 15 is provided at the end of the lock plate away from the connecting groove. When the composite switch needs to be temporarily suspended or assisted in installation, tools such as hooks and ropes can be passed through the hanging hole to fix the composite switch in a specific position, which plays a role in auxiliary positioning or temporary fixation.

[0031] Specifically, a limiting step 16 is provided at the end of the locking plate groove away from the connecting groove, and limiting steps 17 are provided on both sides of the locking plate to mutually limit the limiting step 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the limiting step one in the locking plate groove cooperates with the limiting steps two on both sides of the locking plate to limit the range of movement of the locking plate during the sliding process and prevent the locking plate from coming out of the locking plate groove.

[0033] Specifically, the locking plate is provided with an inclined surface 18 at one end of the connecting groove, and the inclined surface is adapted to the inclined surface 20 on one side of the track 19.

[0034] In this embodiment, the inclined surface one at one end of the locking plate in the connecting groove is adapted to the inclined surface two on one side of the track. When the composite switch is connected to the track, the pressure of the reset spring can prevent the composite switch from sliding easily on the track.

[0035] Specifically, rubber protrusions 21 are provided on the inclined surface.

[0036] In this embodiment, rubber protrusions are provided on the inclined surface. Rubber has good elasticity and friction. When the locking plate and the track are engaged, the rubber protrusions can increase the friction between the locking plate and the track, making the connection between the locking plate and the track tighter and preventing relative sliding between the locking plate and the track due to vibration and other factors during use.

[0037] Attention all technical personnel: Although this utility model has been described according to the specific embodiments above, the concept of this utility model is not limited to this utility model. Any modification that utilizes the concept of this utility model will be included within the scope of protection of this patent right.
