Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a wall-mounted socket, and more particularly to a padlock-type quick-release socket that can be quickly installed, removed, and wired. Background Technology

[0002] Wall switches and sockets are essential electrical products during home construction and renovation. Before installation, an opening needs to be made in the wall to fix a junction box inside. The switch or socket is then fixed to a mounting plate. Openings are made on both sides of the mounting plate, and L-shaped mounting pieces for screws are positioned on the inner wall of the junction box at positions corresponding to these openings. These mounting pieces have screw holes, and screws pass through these openings and are screwed into the screw holes of the mounting pieces, thus securing the mounting plate to the junction box. The drawbacks of this type of switch or socket are: 1. During installation and removal, screwdrivers or other installation tools are required to remove the screws, and at least two screws need to be removed each time, making each installation and removal relatively time-consuming. 2. If the screw holes of the L-shaped mounting pieces or the threads of the screws are damaged, it is difficult to install or remove them. 3. If the mounting pieces on the junction box are damaged, fall off, or deformed, the entire junction box needs to be knocked out of the wall. Therefore, this type of junction box has high labor costs and product damage costs during the entire installation and maintenance process.

[0003] Similarly, existing sockets or switches have sockets at the wiring locations for inserting wires. A bolt is screwed into the socket to allow wires to be inserted. When wiring is needed, the exposed wire is inserted into the socket, and the bolt is tightened to secure the wire between the bolt end and the spring clip. This structure also requires tools for wiring, and because the bolt is in direct contact with the wire, insulation issues must be considered when disassembling the bolt, posing a certain safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model provides a padlock-type quick-release socket that overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art, allowing for quick connection of the mounting plate and the junction box without the need for tools, and enabling rapid wiring.

[0005] The purpose of this application is achieved as follows: a padlock-type quick-release socket includes a recessed box installed in the wall, a mounting plate fixed at the open end of the recessed box, a circuit box located inside the recessed box, and a socket circuit set inside the circuit box. A socket hole for inserting a power plug is provided on the front side of the mounting plate, with each socket corresponding to a terminal of the socket circuit. A mounting hole penetrating the mounting plate is provided on one side of the mounting plate, and a rotatable first connector is provided in the mounting hole. The inner end of the first connector extends into the recessed box and is connected to a corresponding socket on the side of the recessed box. A second connector is fixed to the end of the mounting plate opposite the first connector, and is connected to a corresponding slot on the side of the recessed box. A wiring device is fixed to the back of the circuit box, and the wiring device has wire grooves corresponding to the three-phase input terminals of the socket circuit.

[0006] The wiring device includes a terminal block that is fixedly connected to the back of the circuit box. Three mounting slots with one open end are provided on the terminal block. A wire-passing groove is provided at the end of the mounting slot opposite the open end. A locking block is rotatably connected in the mounting slot.

[0007] A fixed shaft is set in the middle of the mounting slot, and a rotating body is sleeved on the fixed shaft. There is a gap between the back of the rotating body and the back of the circuit box. A torsion spring that can drive the rotating body to reset is set between the rotating body and the fixed shaft. A lever is integrally connected to the rotating body. The outer end of the lever extends from the open end of the mounting slot. A clip is integrally connected to the lower end of the rotating body. The lower end of the clip can extend into the wire passage.

[0008] A conductor is fixed at the bottom of the threading groove below the card head.

[0009] A fixed shaft is provided in the mounting hole, and a first connecting member is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft. The first connecting member includes a connecting rod that is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft. A bushing is provided in the middle of the connecting rod, and the fixed shaft passes through the bushing. A hook is integrally connected to the inner end of the connecting rod, and a spring is connected between the outer end of the connecting rod and the upper end face of the mounting hole.

[0010] The second connector is a vertically arranged insert or insert piece, and the corresponding slot is a socket or slot. The lower end of the second connector is inserted into the slot.

[0011] In use, this application positions the mounting plate and junction box on one side through the engagement of the insert rod and slot, and then locks them on the opposite side through the engagement of the hook and socket, thus quickly and securely connecting the mounting plate and junction box. The wiring method of the circuit box has been changed from bolt and spring clip clamping to a clamping method using a rotatable locking block and wire channel, thus avoiding contact with exposed wires during wiring. During installation, no tools or screw removal are required, making installation simple and faster than using screws. Furthermore, the positioning structures on both sides of the mounting plate and junction box are hidden inside the junction box, making them difficult to access from the outside and less prone to damage, resulting in lower labor installation costs and a lower product damage rate.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. Embodiment 1: As shown in the figure... Figure 1As shown, the padlock-type quick-release socket includes a recessed box 6 installed in the wall, a mounting plate 3 fixed to the open end of the recessed box 6, a circuit box 4 fixed to the back of the mounting plate 3, and a socket circuit located inside the recessed box 6. A socket hole 2 for inserting a power plug is provided on the front side of the mounting plate, and the socket hole 2 corresponds one-to-one with the wiring terminals of the socket circuit. A mounting hole 1 penetrating the mounting plate 3 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 3, and a rotatable first connector 5 is provided in the mounting hole 1. The inner end of the first connector 5 extends into the recessed box 6 and is connected to the corresponding socket 2 on the side of the recessed box 6. A second connector 9 is fixed to the end of the mounting plate 3 opposite to the first connector 5, and the second connector 9 is connected to the corresponding slot on the side of the recessed box 6. A wiring device 10 is fixed to the back of the circuit box 4, and the wiring device 10 has wire grooves 10-3 corresponding one-to-one with the three-phase input terminals of the socket circuit.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the wiring device 10 includes a wiring plate 10-2 fixedly connected to the back of the circuit box 4. Three mounting slots 10-7 with one open end are provided on the wiring plate 10-2. A wire-passing slot 10-3 is provided at the end of the mounting slot 10-7 opposite to the open end. A locking block 10-1 is rotatably connected in the mounting slot 10-7.

[0027] Furthermore, a fixed shaft 10-8 is set in the middle of the mounting groove 10-7, and a rotating body 10-5 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 10-8. A gap is left between the back of the rotating body 10-5 and the back of the circuit box 4. A torsion spring 10-9 is set between the rotating body 10-5 and the fixed shaft 10-8 to drive the rotating body 10-5 to reset. A lever 10-4 is integrally connected to the rotating body 10-5. The outer end of the lever 10-4 extends from the open end of the mounting groove 10-7. A clip 10-6 is integrally connected to the lower end of the rotating body 10-5. The lower end of the clip 10-6 can extend into the wire threading groove 10-3.

[0028] By moving the lever 10-4 backward, the rotating body 10-5 can be rotated, causing the clamp 10-6 to rotate forward, making enough space for the wire to pass through the wire groove 10-3. After the wire with its outer sheath removed is inserted and contacts the three-phase input terminal of the socket circuit, the lever 10-4 is released. Under the action of the torsion spring 10-9, the rotating body 10-5 rotates in the opposite direction to reset. At this time, the clamp 10-6 is located in the wire groove 10-3 and presses the wire tightly against the bottom end of the wire groove 10-3.

[0029] To ensure good contact between the wire and the three-phase input terminal of the socket circuit, a metal plate (not shown in the figure) is fixed to the bottom of the wire groove 10-3 below the clip 10-6. The metal plate is connected to the three-phase input terminal circuit of the socket circuit. When the wire contacts the metal plate, it becomes conductive with the three-phase input terminal circuit of the socket circuit.

[0030] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, a fixed shaft is provided in the mounting hole 1, and a first connecting member 5 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft. The first connecting member includes a connecting rod 5-2 rotatably connected to the fixed shaft. A bushing is provided in the middle of the connecting rod 5-2, and the fixed shaft passes through the bushing. A hook 5 is integrally connected to the inner end of the connecting rod 5-2, and a spring 8 is connected between the outer end of the connecting rod 5-2 and the upper end face of the mounting hole 1. When the mounting plate 3 is pushed towards the junction box 6, the connecting rod 5-2 is in a state of lower outer and higher inner under the action of the spring 8, so that the upper end of the hook 5-1 abuts against the bottom surface of the upper side of the junction box 6. As the mounting plate 3 and the junction box 6 gradually approach each other, the hook 5-1 moves along the bottom surface of the upper side of the junction box 6 until it reaches the socket 7. When the hook 5-1 reaches the socket 7 under the action of the spring 8, it enters the socket 7 and engages with the socket 7.

[0031] The second connector 9 is a vertically arranged insert or insert piece, and the corresponding slot is an insertion hole or slot. The lower end of the second connector 9 is inserted into the slot.

[0032] During installation, the wires with their outer sheath removed are first wired using the wiring device 10. After wiring, the inner surface of the mounting plate 3 faces the junction box 6. The second connector 9 is then inserted into the slot. Using the lower end of the second connector 9 as a fulcrum, the upper end of the mounting plate 3 is moved towards the junction box 6 until the end of the hook 5-1 enters the socket 7 and connects, thus completing the connection between the mounting plate 3 and the junction box 6.

[0033] During disassembly, this application uses a flathead screwdriver or other similar tool to insert the end into the mounting hole 1, lift the outer end of the first connector 5, causing the outer end of the connecting rod 5-2 to rise upwards, thereby disengaging the hook 5-1 from the socket 7. Then, pull the upper part of the mounting plate 3 outwards to move the hook 5-1 away from the socket 7. Finally, pull the mounting plate 3 upwards to disengage the second connector from the slot. Finally, move the lever 10-4 to release the pressure of the clip head 10-6 on the wire, and finally remove the mounting plate 3 with the circuit box 4 from the junction box 6.

[0034] The above description is merely an example for clearly illustrating this application and is not intended to limit the implementation of this application. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this application are still within the protection scope of this application.
