Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket switch technology, and in particular to a socket installation component for plasterboard installation. Background Technology

[0002] In contemporary home environments, power outlets serve as a fundamental infrastructure supporting modern life, and their layout and installation directly impact the user experience. Traditional 86-type outlets employ a standardized construction system where the back box is pre-installed and the panel is then installed. While this meets basic power supply needs, the panel protrudes from the wall, making it unsuitable for the increasingly popular minimalist design requirements.

[0003] While existing flush-mounted concealed sockets can be used with plasterboard, installation is inconvenient and involves multiple steps. They rely on standard 86-type wall boxes for fixing, and the distance from the box to the finished surface varies from installation site to site, leading to significant surface flatness deviations. This necessitates adjustments using screws and washers, which is extremely cumbersome. Furthermore, in some renovation scenarios, hollow plasterboard partitions make it difficult to ensure the box is perfectly vertically fixed, resulting in a less than satisfactory flush-mount finish.

[0004] In addition, due to the loose texture of gypsum board and its weak nail-fixing force, it is easy for ordinary screws to loosen and shift, which can easily cause the board to crack. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a socket mounting assembly for plasterboard installation, so as to solve one or more problems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A socket mounting assembly for plasterboard installation includes a positioning member and an adjustment part disposed on the positioning member. The adjustment part includes an adjustment rod and a limiting member. The adjustment rod acts on the limiting member to change the limiting member relative to the positioning member from a first state to a second state.

[0008] Furthermore, the positioning component has a first hole at its center, and a first protrusion and a second protrusion are evenly arranged along the edge of the first hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the positioning member has a sealing plate on one end face, and the sealing plate has a second hole that communicates with the first hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing plate surface is also provided with a fixing part, the fixing part including a first fixing member and a second fixing member, the first fixing member being connected to the sealing plate, and the second fixing member being connected to the first fixing member.

[0011] Furthermore, the first protrusion has a third hole along the first direction and penetrates the second fixing member; the second protrusion has a fourth hole along the first direction, and the fourth hole extends to the sealing plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the positioning member is also provided with a first recess, which is connected to the area enclosed by the fixing part and the sealing plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the adjusting rod passes through the third hole and is partially located within the first recess; the limiting member is movably fitted to the adjusting rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the limiting member includes a first part, which, in the first state of the limiting member, is located in the area enclosed by the fixing part and the sealing plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the limiting member also includes a second part connected to the first part, and the surface of the positioning member is also provided with a second recess. In the first state of the limiting member, the second part is engaged with the second recess.

[0016] Furthermore, the positioning member is provided with a third protrusion on the outer ring surface at the end away from the sealing plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] (i) The design of the first hole of the positioning component and the sealing plate forms a semi-closed structure, which replaces the traditional pre-embedded bottom box and avoids the formation of local stress concentration points on the lightweight gypsum board; while the bidirectional snap-fit ​​design of the third protrusion and the limiting component evenly distributes the load to the edge of the gypsum board opening, which significantly reduces the risk of deformation and cracking of the gypsum board or ceiling due to local stress.

[0019] (ii) The positioning component integrates the fixing and adjusting parts, achieving integrated fixing and limiting adjustment of the socket cover through the third hole of the first protrusion and the fourth hole of the second protrusion. Construction only requires inserting the positioning component and rotating the adjusting rod, reducing the accumulation of errors from traditional multi-step processes and lowering flatness deviations.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description of a socket installation component for gypsum board installation, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation. The advantages and features of this utility model will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, used only to facilitate and clearly illustrate the purpose of the embodiments of this utility model. Please refer to the accompanying drawings for a clearer understanding of the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model. It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in the accompanying drawings are only for illustrative purposes and to aid those skilled in the art, and are not intended to limit the implementation conditions of this utility model. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and objectives achieved by this utility model, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The socket mounting assembly of this embodiment includes a positioning member 1 and an adjusting part 2 disposed on the positioning member 1. The adjusting part 2 includes an adjusting rod 21 and a limiting member 22. The adjusting rod 21 acts on the limiting member 22 to realize the change of the limiting member 22 relative to the positioning member 1 from a first state to a second state. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The change of the positioning element 1 shown.

[0028] Furthermore, the positioning member 1 has a first hole 11 at its center, and a first protrusion 12 and a second protrusion 13 are evenly arranged along the edge of the first hole 11. In this embodiment, two of each of the first protrusion 12 and the second protrusion 13 are provided.

[0029] Furthermore, the positioning member 1 has a sealing plate 14 on one end face, which closes the first hole 11. The sealing plate 14 has a second hole 141 that communicates with the first hole 11. Preferably, the second hole 141 and the first hole 11 are concentrically arranged. The sealing plate 14 creates a semi-enclosed structure for the positioning member 1, allowing it to function as a traditional junction box for placing switches and sockets, while the wiring harness exits through the second hole 141.

[0030] Furthermore, a fixing part 15 is also provided on the surface of the sealing plate 14. The fixing part 15 includes a first fixing member 151 and a second fixing member 152. The first fixing member 151 is connected to the sealing plate 14, and the second fixing member 152 is connected to the first fixing member 151. The fixing part 15 ensures the stability of the adjusting rod 21 and limits the positioning member 22. The first protrusion 12 has a third hole 121 along a first direction and passes through the second fixing member 152, while the second protrusion 13 has a fourth hole 131 along the first direction, extending to the sealing plate 14. In this embodiment, the first direction is perpendicular to the end face of the positioning member 1, that is, the direction in which the first hole 11 is formed. The third hole 121 of the first protrusion 12 is used to place the adjusting rod 21 to adjust the positioning member 22, and the fourth hole 131 of the second protrusion 13 is used to fix the socket to the positioning member 1. Compared to the previous design of flush-mounted sockets that relied on the 86-type base box, the positioning component 1, through the rationally distributed design of the first protrusion 12 and the second protrusion 13, achieves an integrated function of fixing and adjusting, thus realizing convenient and efficient socket installation.

[0031] Furthermore, the surface of the positioning member 1 is also provided with a first recess 16, which communicates with the area enclosed by the fixing part 15 and the sealing plate 14. The adjusting rod 21 passes through the third hole 121 and is partially located within the first recess 16, while the limiting member 22 is movably engaged with the adjusting rod 21. The range of motion of the limiting member 22 is the area enclosed by the first recess 16 and the fixing part 15 and the sealing plate 14 along the first direction.

[0032] Furthermore, the limiting member 22 includes a first portion 221. In the first state of the limiting member 22, the first portion 221 is located within the area enclosed by the fixing part 15 and the sealing plate 14, i.e. Figure 1 The effect shown is as follows. The limiting member 22 also includes a second part 222 connected to the first part 221. The surface of the positioning member 1 is also provided with a second recess 17. In the first state of the limiting member 22, the second part 222 is engaged with the second recess 17, that is... Figure 1 The effect shown is as follows. Preferably, in the first state, the second part 222 and the surface of the second recess 17 are fitted together to form an integral arc, thereby improving the aesthetics of the positioning member 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the positioning member 1 is provided with a third protrusion 18 on the outer ring surface at the end away from the sealing plate 14. When the positioning member 1 is inserted into the plasterboard from one side, the third protrusion 18 engages with the opening of the plasterboard, achieving the effect of fixing one end.

[0034] The specific installation process of the socket mounting assembly for gypsum board installation described in this embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0035] When the limiting member 22 is in the first state, the sealing plate 14 side of the positioning member 1 is inserted into the plasterboard opening, as shown. Figure 5 As shown, the third protrusion 18 is engaged with the plasterboard opening. Then, by controlling the rotation of the adjusting rod 21 at the end away from the sealing plate 14, the limiting member 22 is changed from the first state to the second state. The adjusting rod 21 is continued to be rotated so that the limiting member 22 moves closer to the third protrusion 18 until the limiting member 22 is engaged with the other side of the plasterboard opening, thereby achieving bidirectional fixation of the plasterboard opening and completing the installation of the socket mounting assembly.

[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
