[0002] The term "switch" is defined as turning on and off; it also refers to an electronic component that can open a circuit, interrupt current, or divert it to another circuit. A socket, also known as a power socket or switch socket, is a receptacle for inserting one or more electrical wires. However, considering the complex environments in which switches and sockets are used, such as outdoors, they are susceptible to damage from rain. Water entering the switch or socket and contacting the circuit can cause a short circuit, posing a significant safety hazard.

[0003] To protect switches or sockets from water, waterproof boxes are used. Existing waterproof boxes are usually installed by covering the outside of the switch or socket. The waterproof box needs to be connected to the base box on the wall for the switch or socket. The waterproof box requires many fasteners to be fixed to the base box. To prevent the waterproof box from being misaligned or to help the fasteners align with the corresponding connection holes, a limiting structure is also required between the waterproof box and the base box. This greatly increases the production cost of the waterproof box and makes the installation process complicated. Utility Model Content

[0029] like Figures 1 to 9As shown, this is an embodiment of the present invention: an integrated waterproof switch and socket box for installing switches or sockets. It includes a waterproof box 1 and a base box 2. The waterproof box 1 and the base box 2 are integrally formed, and the interior of the waterproof box 1 and the base box 2 forms a cavity 3 for installing switches or sockets. An opening 4 communicating with the cavity 3 is provided on one side of the waterproof box 1. A cover 5 that covers the opening 4 is hinged to the edge of the waterproof box 1. A wire hole 6 for the power supply line to extend into is provided on the base box 2. The wire extends into the cavity 3 and is electrically connected to the switch or socket.

[0030] The advantages of this design are as follows: This invention fixes the waterproof box and the base box together using an integrated molding process. The waterproof box no longer needs to be connected to the base box via fasteners or limiting structures, significantly reducing production costs, simplifying the manufacturing process, and making installation more convenient. The waterproof box can be directly used as a traditional base box for wall mounting, offering strong overall integrity. Both the waterproof box and the base box are typically made of plastic, and the integrated molding process, also known as injection molding, directly injection molds the waterproof box and base box into a single product.

[0031] Furthermore, a limiting inclined surface 7 is connected between the outer wall of the waterproof box 1 and the bottom box 2.

[0032] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: the limiting bevel is set at the transition position between the waterproof box and the outer wall of the bottom box. When the bottom box is installed on the wall, the limiting bevel can abut against the edge of the wall opening, helping to determine whether the bottom box is installed in place and enabling quick installation.

[0033] Further, it also includes a mounting cover plate 8, with a mounting part 9 for detachable connection of a switch or socket through the end face of the mounting cover plate 8.

The mounting cover is installed inside the waterproof box by snap-fit ​​and slot-fit, making it easy to install and remove. Switches or sockets can be quickly replaced by changing the mounting cover.

[0035] Further, the mounting cover plate 8 is provided with at least two buckles, namely a first buckle 10 and a second buckle 11. The first buckle 10 and the second buckle 11 are symmetrically arranged on the two side walls of the mounting cover plate 8. The inner wall of the waterproof box 1 is provided with a first slot 12 and a second slot 13 corresponding to the first buckle 10 and the second buckle 11, respectively. The end face of the mounting cover plate 8 facing the opening 4 is provided with a quick-release groove 14, and the quick-release groove 14 is located near the edge of the first buckle 10.

[0036] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: the mounting cover is secured from both ends by the first and second clips, making the installation more secure. A quick-release groove is also provided on the end face of the mounting cover for tools or hands to be inserted directly. By prying the quick-release groove, the first clip can be pried out from the first groove, allowing the mounting cover to be removed by hand, further facilitating disassembly and assembly.

[0037] Furthermore, each of the buckles has an inclined conical surface 15 on its outer wall.

[0038] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: the inclined direction of the conical surface is towards the inside of the mounting cavity, which not only ensures the firmness of the buckle when it is engaged with the slot, but also allows the buckle to be easily removed from the slot, making disassembly easier.

[0039] Furthermore, the inner wall of the waterproof box 1 is also provided with a raised annular platform 16, and the end face of the mounting cover plate 8 facing the cavity 3 abuts against the annular platform 16.

[0040] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: the ring platform abuts and limits the four edges of the mounting cover, restricting the installation position of the mounting cover and increasing the strength of the installation structure.

[0041] Furthermore, a sealing ring 17 is provided between the ring platform 16 and the mounting cover plate 8, and the mounting cover plate 8 is provided with an annular groove 18 for the sealing ring 17 to be embedded.

[0042] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: the sealing ring increases the sealing performance and further improves the waterproof performance; the sealing ring is embedded in the annular groove of the mounting cover plate, making it firmly fixed and less prone to misalignment or falling off.

[0043] Furthermore, the annular groove 18 is provided with a protrusion 19, and the sealing ring 17 is provided with a recess 20 that matches the protrusion 19.

[0044] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: the combination of the protrusion and the recess increases the contact area between the sealing ring and the mounting cover, making the sealing ring more securely installed.

[0045] Furthermore, the sealing ring 17 has a protrusion 21 protruding outward toward the annular groove 18 that abuts against the annular platform 16.

[0046] The beneficial effects of this design are as follows: the sealing ring is usually made of elastic material, and the boss abuts against the ring platform to form an elastic seal, which further improves the sealing effect and prevents gaps from forming between the ring platform and the mounting cover plate.

[0047] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
