[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0033] like Figures 1-26 As shown, this embodiment provides a quick-connect and disconnect wall switch socket, including a base 2 and a copper wire piece 7. The copper wire piece 7 is provided with a terminal 74. The base 2 is provided with a wiring groove 22. A self-locking spring piece 6 is installed in the wiring groove 22. The base 2 is provided with a wire hole 21 at the bottom of the wiring groove 22. The self-locking spring piece 6 is provided with a self-locking elastic inclined surface 62 near the wire hole 21. The other end of the self-locking spring piece 6 is provided with a wire contact end 61. The self-locking spring piece 6 is made of a metal material with good elasticity. The self-locking elastic inclined surface 62 is elastic and rebounds towards the wire hole 21. The terminal 74 of the copper wire piece 7 is installed in the wiring groove 22 and the terminal 74 is parallel to the center direction of the wire hole 21.

[0034] The wire contact end 61 is S-shaped and elastic, and it rebounds towards the copper contact plate 7. When the wire hole 21 is not inserted with the wire 8, the wire contact end 61 and the self-locking elastic inclined surface 62 are in contact with the terminal 74 under their own elasticity.

[0035] like Figure 26 As shown, when using the device, the user directly inserts the wire 8 into the wire hole 21. When the wire 8 is inserted, the self-locking elastic bevel 62 will bend inward first, and the wire 8 will eventually contact the wire contact end 61. If the user pulls the wire 8 outward at this time, the self-locking elastic bevel 62 will lock onto the wire 8, preventing the wire 8 from being pulled outward. This achieves quick insertion of the wire 8 while firmly fixing the wire 8, avoiding the use of screws or other installation methods.

[0036] Since wall sockets all need to have socket holes, the base 2 is fitted with a top cover 3 by a snap-fit ​​connection. The top cover 3 has a socket hole 31 above the wiring copper piece 7.

[0037] To make it more difficult for the wire 8 to come off on its own, preferably, the contact surface between the terminal 74 and the self-locking elastic inclined surface 62 is provided with a plurality of first grooves 741. The first grooves 741 can be square grooves, circular grooves, mesh grooves, etc., as long as they can increase the friction between the terminal 74 and the wire 8, thus more effectively preventing the wire 8 from coming off on its own.

[0038] Since sockets are divided into two-hole sockets and three-hole sockets, we designed this for the two-hole socket. Preferably, the base 2 has a live wire copper plate mounting groove 23 and a neutral wire copper plate mounting groove 24 according to the size of the two-hole socket. There are two wiring grooves 22 and two wiring copper plates 7, one for the live wire and one for the neutral wire. Each of the live wire and neutral wire copper plates 72 has a socket copper plate end 75 on its end away from the terminal 74. The socket copper plate ends 75 of the live wire and neutral wire copper plates 71 and 72 are located in the live wire mounting groove 23 and the neutral wire mounting groove 24, respectively. The socket copper plate ends 75 of the live wire and neutral wire copper plates 71 and 72 constitute the two-hole socket. This solution realizes the structural design of a two-hole socket.

[0039] To allow consumers to directly disconnect appliances plugged into wall sockets via a wall switch without unplugging them, thereby extending the lifespan of the socket and improving the user experience, the live wire copper piece 71 is preferably composed of a first copper piece 711 and a second copper piece 712. The wiring terminal 74 of the live wire copper piece 71 is located on the first copper piece 711, and the socket copper piece terminal 75 of the live wire copper piece 71 is located on the second copper piece 712. A switch button 4 is also installed on the first copper piece 711 and the second copper piece 712, which controls the circuit connection between the first copper piece 711 and the second copper piece 712. Users can simply press the switch button 4 to connect / disconnect the live wire in the socket. This switch button 4 can be any common switch button used in wall switches and sockets.

[0040] To make this invention applicable to three-prong sockets, preferably, there are three wiring grooves 22 and three live wire copper pieces 71. The third wiring groove 22 is a ground wire copper piece mounting groove 25, and the third live wire copper piece 71 is a ground wire copper piece 73. The ground wire copper piece 73 is installed in the ground wire copper piece mounting groove 25. The socket copper piece ends 75 of the live wire copper piece 71, neutral wire copper piece 72, and ground wire copper piece 73 constitute a three-prong socket. This achieves the connection of the live, neutral, and ground wires.

[0041] To increase the maximum operating current of the wall socket and reduce resistance, preferably, the live wire copper sheet 71, neutral wire copper sheet 72, and ground wire copper sheet 73 are all made of copper, while the self-locking spring 6 is made of steel. Using steel for the self-locking spring 6 maintains conductivity while providing better elasticity, rigidity, and service life, as copper would be too soft. Furthermore, when the product is powered on, the current does not flow through the self-locking spring 6 because the wire 8 is already in direct contact with the terminal 74 on the connecting copper sheet, ensuring conductivity.

[0042] To facilitate mass production and reduce production costs, preferably, the live wire copper sheet 71, neutral wire copper sheet 72, ground wire copper sheet 73, and self-locking spring sheet 6 are all manufactured using sheet metal stamping technology. Sheet metal stamping technology is suitable for automated mold production and requires only a small amount of manual operation of the machines.

[0043] To allow consumers to easily see whether the product is powered on, preferably, a power indicator light 5 is also installed on the upper cover 3, and the upper cover 3 is marked with live wire, neutral wire, and ground wire markings. Additionally, when the switch button 4 disconnects the circuit, it also directly disconnects the power indicator light 5, because the live wire of the power indicator light 5 is also connected to the second copper plate 712.

[0044] Since this product requires screws to be tightened when installed on the base box, and the base box is a plastic part pre-installed on the wall for installing a wall switch, to make the product more aesthetically pleasing and prevent exposed screws from causing safety issues, preferably, a panel 1 is also installed on the upper cover 3, the power indicator light 5 is installed on the panel 1, and a protective door device 11 is also installed on the upper cover 3. The panel 1 can be designed with different colors and patterns, and can also cover all the screws.

[0045] To allow consumers to quickly disconnect the wire 8, the base 2 is equipped with a quick-release button 9 in the wiring groove 22. The quick-release button 9 has a protrusion 91 and self-locking spring positioning blocks 92 on both sides near the self-locking spring 6. The base 2 has a square hole 221 at the bottom of the wiring groove 22. The protrusion 91 and the square hole 221 match each other to make the quick-release button 9 move in a straight line. The self-locking spring positioning blocks 92 restrict the rebound position of the self-locking elastic inclined surface 62.

[0046] When the user wants to remove the wire 8, simply press the protrusion 91 in. At this time, the quick-release button 9 will move inward, thereby causing the self-locking spring positioning block 92 to move inward, so that the self-locking elastic inclined surface 62 on the self-locking spring 6 will leave the wire 8. The wire 8 will then be released from the self-locking state, and the wire 8 can be easily pulled out.

[0047] This embodiment should not be considered as a limitation of the utility model, but any improvements made based on the spirit of the utility model should be within the protection scope of the utility model.
