Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, specifically to a socket that facilitates the installation of indicator lights. Background Technology

[0002] Sockets are an indispensable basic electrical accessory in modern life. Their structure typically includes a housing, a conductive copper busbar inside the housing, and an indicator light to indicate the power status.

[0003] However, in the traditional assembly process of socket indicator lights, neon bulbs or LED indicator lights are usually manually soldered directly onto the conductive copper busbars inside the casing to achieve circuit conduction. The entire assembly process is complex, resulting in low production efficiency and difficulty in achieving automated production. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a socket that facilitates the installation of indicator lights.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A socket for easy installation of indicator lights includes a housing, a conductive copper busbar is fitted inside the housing, a circuit board is disposed inside the housing, an indicator light is disposed on the circuit board, the circuit board is fitted on the conductive copper busbar and forms an electrical connection with the indicator light, and the circuit board is a double-sided PCB.

[0006] Preferably, the circuit board is provided with a plurality of first slots, and the housing is formed with a plurality of snap-fit ​​protrusions. The snap-fit ​​protrusions form positioning slots that engage with the first slots. Through the above improvements, during the installation of the circuit board, the first slots are snapped into the snap-fit ​​protrusions, so that the first slots on the circuit board and the positioning slots on the snap-fit ​​protrusions will engage, greatly improving the reliability of the circuit board's fixed installation.

[0007] Preferably, the circuit board is provided with a plurality of second slots, and the conductive copper busbar includes an L-polar conductive sheet and an N-polar conductive sheet. The L-polar conductive sheet and the N-polar conductive sheet are respectively inserted into the second slots. Through the above improvement, during the installation of the circuit board, the second slots on the circuit board will be inserted into the L-polar conductive sheet and the N-polar conductive sheet respectively, and connect the conductive lines on the circuit board to connect the indicator light. This not only realizes the rapid installation of the indicator light, but also further improves the stability and reliability of the indicator light installation.

[0008] Preferably, the conductive copper busbar has an upwardly extending positioning protrusion, and the positioning protrusion has a third slot that engages with the second slot. Through the above improvements, the positioning protrusion can enhance the overall structure of the conductive copper busbar, and ensure that the effective current-carrying area of ​​the current path is maximized, avoiding the generation of local hot spots and improving the stability of the circuit.

[0009] Preferably, the insertion end of the third slot forms a guide arc surface. Through the above improvements, the smoothness of the connection between the circuit board and the conductive copper busbar is enhanced, and the convenience of installation is further improved.

[0010] Preferably, the indicator light is located on the side of the circuit board, and the light-emitting end of the indicator light is facing upward. Through the above improvements, the side mounting effectively reduces the overall height of the entire optical module, and the upward-facing light-emitting end allows the light to be projected directly and efficiently onto the light guide area of ​​the housing, which significantly reduces the light efficiency loss caused by lateral light path obstruction or excessive distance in the traditional layout, and ensures high brightness, high uniformity and recognizability of the indicator light signal.

[0011] Preferably, the snap-fit ​​protrusions are arranged at intervals along the length of the circuit board. Through the above improvements, multiple points are used to snap the circuit board, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the circuit board snap-fit.

[0012] Preferably, the circuit board forms an L-pole conductive line and an N-pole conductive line for connecting the indicator light, and the L-pole conductive line is connected to the L-pole conductive sheet, and the N-pole conductive sheet is connected to the N-pole conductive sheet. With the above improvement, when the circuit board is plugged into the conductive copper busbar, the L-pole conductive line and the N-pole conductive line will connect to the N-pole conductive sheet and the N-pole conductive sheet respectively, thereby connecting the entire indicator light circuit. Compared with manual soldering of indicator lights, this greatly improves production efficiency and is more suitable for automated production.

[0013] Preferably, a protective resistor is connected to the L-pole conductive line. Through the above improvements, the current passing through the L-pole conductive line can be limited, avoiding excessive current that could damage the indicator light or cause a safety accident, thus improving the safety of the entire socket.

[0014] Preferably, the housing has an indicator window, which is positioned opposite to the indicator light. With the above improvements, the indicator window serves as a light-transmitting channel and is directly aligned with the light-emitting end of the indicator light, completely avoiding the brightness attenuation and light spot distortion problems caused by multiple refractions and reflections of light in the traditional structure, and ensuring that the indicator signal is transmitted to the user's field of vision with high fidelity and without loss.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects: By inserting the circuit board onto the conductive copper busbar inside the housing, the conductive copper busbar is connected to the circuit board and forms an electrical connection with the indicator light. Compared to manually soldering the indicator light onto the conductive copper busbar, the assembly process is greatly simplified, which not only greatly improves production efficiency but also makes it more suitable for automated production. At the same time, it reduces manufacturing costs. In addition, the circuit board is a double-sided PCB, which greatly improves the freedom, complexity, and reliability of circuit design.

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.

[0018] It should be understood that although the terms upper, middle, lower, top, one end, etc., appear in this document to describe various elements, these elements are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the elements from each other for ease of understanding, and are not used to define any directional or sequential restrictions.

[0019] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a socket for easy installation of indicator light 4 includes a housing 1, a conductive copper busbar 2 is installed inside the housing 1, a circuit board 3 is installed inside the housing 1, an indicator light 4 is installed on the circuit board 3, the circuit board 3 is installed on the conductive copper busbar 2 and forms an electrical connection with the indicator light 4, and the circuit board 3 is a double-sided PCB.

[0020] By inserting the circuit board 3 onto the conductive copper busbar 2 inside the housing 1, the conductive copper busbar 2 will be connected to the circuit board 3 and form an electrical connection with the indicator light 4. Compared with manually soldering the indicator light 4 onto the conductive copper busbar 2, the assembly process is greatly simplified, which not only greatly improves production efficiency, but also makes it more suitable for automated production, while also reducing manufacturing costs.

[0021] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown in the further explanation of the installation method of the circuit board 3 in this embodiment, the circuit board 3 is provided with a plurality of first slots 5, and a plurality of snap-fit ​​protrusions 6 are formed inside the housing 1. The snap-fit ​​protrusions 6 form positioning slots 1.6 that are inserted and engaged with the first slots 5. During the installation of the circuit board 3, the first slots 5 are snapped into the snap-fit ​​protrusions 6, so that the first slots 5 on the circuit board 3 are engaged and engaged with the positioning slots 1.6 on the snap-fit ​​protrusions 6, which greatly improves the reliability of the fixed installation of the circuit board 3.

[0022] While the circuit board 3 is plugged into the snap-fit ​​protrusion 6, the circuit board 3 is also simultaneously plugged into the conductive copper busbar 2, which not only ensures the stability of the plug-in board installation, but also enables the rapid connection of the indicator light 4 circuit.

[0023] In addition, the snap-fit ​​protrusions 6 are arranged at intervals along the length of the circuit board 3, and multiple points are used to snap the circuit board 3, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the snap-fit ​​of the circuit board 3.

[0024] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, as a further explanation of the implementation of the circuit board 3 and the conductive copper busbar 2, the circuit board 3 is provided with a plurality of second slots 7. The conductive copper busbar 2 includes an L-polar conductive piece 1.1 and an N-polar conductive piece 1.2. The L-polar conductive piece 1.1 and the N-polar conductive piece 1.2 are respectively inserted into the second slots 7. During the installation of the circuit board 3, the second slots 7 on the circuit board 3 will be inserted into the L-polar conductive piece 1.1 and the N-polar conductive piece 1.2 respectively, and connect the conductive lines on the circuit board 3 to connect the indicator light 4. This not only realizes the rapid installation of the indicator light 4, but also further improves the stability and reliability of the installation of the indicator light 4.

[0025] Specifically, circuit board 3 has an L-polar conductive line 2.1 and an N-polar conductive line 2.2 that connect to indicator light 4. The L-polar conductive line 2.1 is connected to the L-polar conductive piece 1.1, and the N-polar conductive piece 1.2 is connected to the N-polar conductive piece 1.2. When circuit board 3 is plugged into conductive copper busbar 2, the L-polar conductive line 2.1 and the N-polar conductive line 2.2 will connect to the N-polar conductive piece 1.2 and the N-polar conductive piece 1.2 respectively, thereby connecting the entire indicator light 4 circuit. Compared with manual soldering of indicator light 4, this greatly improves production efficiency and is more suitable for automated production.

[0026] Furthermore, the conductive copper busbar 2 has an upwardly extending positioning protrusion 1.3, and the positioning protrusion 1.3 has a third slot 1.4 that is inserted and engaged with the second slot 7. The positioning protrusion 1.3 can enhance the overall structure of the conductive copper busbar 2, and ensure that the effective current-carrying area of ​​the current path is maximized, avoiding the generation of local hot spots and improving the stability of the circuit.

[0027] Preferably, the insertion end of the third slot 1.4 forms a guide arc surface 1.5, which can guide the insertion process, improve the smoothness of the connection between the circuit board 3 and the conductive copper busbar 2, and further improve the convenience of installation.

[0028] In addition, indicator light 4 is located on the side of circuit board 3, and the light-emitting end of indicator light 4 is facing upward. The side mounting effectively reduces the overall height of the entire optical module. The upward light-emitting end allows light to be projected directly and efficiently onto the light guide area of ​​the housing, which significantly reduces the light efficiency loss caused by lateral light path obstruction or excessive distance in the traditional layout, and ensures high brightness, high uniformity and recognizability of the light signal of indicator light 4.

[0029] Preferably, a protective resistor 2.3 is connected to the L-pole conductive line 2.1. The series resistor on the L-pole conductive line 2.1 can limit the current passing through, prevent excessive current from damaging the indicator light 4 or causing a safety accident, and improve the safety of the entire socket.

[0030] As a preferred option, circuit board 3 is a double-sided PCB board, which greatly improves the freedom, complexity and reliability of circuit design.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a further explanation of the cooperation between the housing 1 and the indicator light 4 is provided: the housing 1 has an indicator window 2.4, which is set opposite to the indicator light 4. The indicator window 2.4 serves as a light transmission channel and is directly aligned with the light-emitting end of the indicator light 4, which completely avoids the problems of brightness attenuation and light spot distortion caused by multiple refractions and reflections of light in traditional structures, and ensures that the indicator signal is transmitted to the user's field of vision with high fidelity and no loss.

[0032] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
