Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of manual switch technology, specifically a concealed control switch. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of smart homes and office equipment, desktop control switches, as an important carrier of human-computer interaction, have become a key requirement in terms of ease of installation, operational safety, and spatial adaptability.

[0003] Most existing concealed desktop control switches adopt an embedded design, which requires pre-grooving during desktop manufacturing. This makes it difficult to expand on existing desktops. When the switch is glued to the bottom of the desktop, the user's thigh may accidentally touch the desktop switch during use, which can easily cause the switch to fall or accidentally press the switch button, making it quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a concealed control switch that offers advantages such as easy installation and prevention of accidental activation, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a concealed control switch, including a fixing frame, the fixing frame being arranged in a C-shape, a threaded cylinder being vertically fixedly embedded at the bottom of the fixing frame, a screw being threadedly connected inside the threaded cylinder, and a knob being fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw; A controller is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting bracket. The controller has two buttons and a USB female port. Two side plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket, and the thickness of the two side plates is greater than the thickness of the controller.

[0006] Furthermore, the surfaces of both buttons are provided with slots of different shapes.

[0007] With the above solution, such as the left button being a circular groove and the right button being a horizontal strip groove, users can quickly identify the button function by touching the shape of the groove with their fingers. For example, a circle corresponds to a switch, and a strip corresponds to adjustment, achieving precise operation without visual dependence.

[0008] Furthermore, both side plates have rubber pads at their bottom ends.

[0009] The above solution uses flexible TPE material for the rubber pad, which can cushion the hard contact between the side panel and the legs or tabletop, avoid hard collisions with the user's legs, and ensure protective stability.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner top wall of the fixing frame is provided with a set of anti-slip grooves.

[0011] The above solution increases the coefficient of friction when in contact with the upper surface of the table, and together with the clamping force of the screw, forms a double anti-slip mechanism, effectively resisting the displacement of the fixing bracket caused by external force collision during the use of the switch.

[0012] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad is fixedly connected to the top end of the screw.

[0013] The above solution increases the contact area and friction with the underside of the tabletop, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the clamping mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, a conduit is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing frame, and a conduit groove is formed on the surface of the conduit.

[0015] The above solution uses a U-shaped opening design for the cable tray to accommodate cables connecting the controller to external devices (such as USB cables and power cords). After the cables are embedded in the tray, they are fixed by the arc-shaped structure of the cable tray, preventing the cables from getting tangled or squeezed by the edge of the table, while also facilitating cable management and replacement.

[0016] Furthermore, the controller has mounting holes on both sides, and bolts are installed inside the mounting holes. One end of each bolt is threadedly connected to the fixing bracket.

[0017] The above solution allows users to easily disassemble the controller, separate the controller from the mounting bracket, facilitate controller malfunction repair, function upgrades, or cleaning and maintenance, and reduce after-sales costs.

[0018] Furthermore, a marking groove is provided on the upper surface of the fixing frame.

[0019] With the above solution, users can quickly locate button functions through the marking slots, reducing the learning cost and improving operational efficiency when using it for the first time.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects: This concealed control switch, through the adoption of a C-type adjustable clamping structure and the setting of screws and anti-slip pads, can be adapted to desktops of different thicknesses and materials without the need for pre-grooving or damaging the integrity of the desktop. It is especially suitable for quick installation on existing desktops, reducing the installation threshold and cost. The side panel is thicker than the controller and extends to form a protective area, which prioritizes blocking direct contact between the legs and the buttons. Combined with the flexible rubber pad at the bottom of the side panel, it cushions hard impacts with the legs and effectively reduces the risk of accidentally touching the switch when raising the legs or adjusting the sitting posture. The buttons are designed with different shaped slots, allowing users to quickly distinguish functions by touching them with their fingers. Combined with the marking slots on the upper surface of the mounting bracket, this enables efficient operation without visual dependence. The buttons can be accurately located even when used for the first time or in low-light environments, significantly reducing the learning curve. The U-shaped groove design of the conduit can fix the connection cables between the controller and external devices, preventing tangling or compression, while facilitating cable replacement and organization, extending cable life and improving desktop tidiness.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This embodiment of a concealed control switch includes a mounting bracket 1, which is C-shaped. A threaded cylinder 2 is vertically embedded in the bottom of the mounting bracket 1, and a screw 3 is threadedly connected inside the threaded cylinder 2. A knob 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw 3. With the above configuration, by contacting the inner top wall of the mounting bracket 1 with the surface of the table, and by contacting the top end of the screw 3 with the bottom of the table, it can be adapted to tabletops of different thicknesses. The mounting bracket 1 can be installed on tabletops of different thicknesses. A set of anti-slip grooves 9 are provided on the inner top wall of the mounting bracket 1 to increase the coefficient of friction when in contact with the surface of the tabletop. Combined with the clamping force of the screw 3, a double anti-slip mechanism is formed to effectively resist the displacement of the mounting bracket 1 caused by external force collision during the use of the switch. An anti-slip pad 10 is fixedly connected to the top end of the screw 3 to increase the contact area and friction with the bottom surface of the tabletop, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the clamping.

[0025] A controller 5 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting bracket 1. The controller 5 has two buttons 501 and a USB female port 502. Two side plates 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket 1. The thickness of the two side plates 6 is greater than that of the controller 5. By making the thickness of the side plates 6 greater than that of the controller 5, the user can avoid accidentally touching the buttons 501 of the controller 5 when raising their leg. The side plates 6 extend beyond the bottom of the controller 5, forming a physical protection area. When the user's leg is naturally placed or raised, the side plates 6 first contact the leg, preventing direct contact with the buttons 501 and reducing the risk of accidental operation. The surfaces of the two buttons 501 are each formed with different shapes. The slot 7, such as the left button 501 being a circular groove and the right button 501 being a horizontal strip groove, allows users to quickly identify the function of the button 501 by touching the shape of the groove with their fingers. For example, the circle corresponds to the switch and the strip corresponds to the adjustment, achieving precise operation without visual dependence. A cable guide tube 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting bracket 1. A cable guide groove 1101 is opened on the surface of the cable guide tube 11. The cable guide groove 1101 has a U-shaped opening design, which can accommodate the cables connecting the controller 5 to external devices, such as USB cables and power cords. After the cables are embedded in the groove, they are fixed by the arc structure of the cable guide tube 11, which prevents the cables from getting tangled or squeezed by the edge of the table, and at the same time facilitates cable management and replacement.

[0026] The upper surface of the mounting bracket 1 is provided with a marking groove 14. Users can quickly locate the function of button 501 by using the marking groove 14. This reduces the learning cost and improves operating efficiency when using it for the first time. The bottom of both side plates 6 are provided with rubber pads 8. The rubber pads 8 are made of flexible TPE material, which can buffer the hard contact between the side plates 6 and the legs or tabletop, avoid hard collisions with the user's legs, and ensure protective stability. The controller 5 is provided with mounting holes 12 on both sides. Bolts 13 are provided inside the mounting holes 12. One end of each bolt 13 is threaded to the mounting bracket 1. Through the above settings, it is easy for users to disassemble the controller, which facilitates the separation of the controller 5 from the mounting bracket 1. This makes it easy to repair, upgrade or clean the controller 5, and reduce after-sales costs.

[0027] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: Align the C-shaped opening of the fixing bracket 1 with the edge of the tabletop, so that the inner top wall of the fixing bracket 1 fits against the upper surface of the tabletop. Rotate the knob 4 to drive the screw 3 to move upward in the threaded cylinder 2 until the anti-slip pad 10 at the top of the screw 3 is in close contact with the lower surface of the tabletop. The anti-slip groove 9 on the inner top wall of the fixing bracket 1 rubs against the upper surface of the tabletop. Combined with the clamping force of the screw 3, a two-way clamping structure is formed, which is suitable for tabletops of different thicknesses and materials, and completes non-destructive installation. The side plate 6, because its thickness exceeds that of the controller 5, forms a barrier layer. When the user's legs are naturally placed or raised, the side plate 6 first contacts the legs, preventing direct contact with the button 501 of the controller 5. The flexible TPE rubber pad 8 at the bottom of the side plate 6 buffers the hard collision with the legs. The friction ensures that the side plate 6 The stable position further reduces the risk of misoperation. When the user needs to operate button 501, they can touch the different shaped slots 7 on the surface of button 501 with their fingers. By sensing the shape of the slots 7, the function of button 501 can be accurately identified without visual confirmation, enabling barrier-free use in low-light environments or during rapid operation. The cable connecting the controller 5 to the external device is embedded in the cable guide tube 11. The cable guide tube 11 is made of plastic and has a certain degree of elasticity. When placing the cable, the opening of the cable guide slot 1101 is opened, and then it automatically resets. The cable is fixed along the arc structure of the cable guide tube 11 to avoid tangling or being squeezed by the edge of the table. At the same time, it is convenient to replace or organize the cable later. When the controller 5 needs to be repaired, upgraded or cleaned, the bolts 13 on both sides of the controller 5 can be unscrewed to improve the convenience of the user.
