Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of low-voltage electrical appliances, and in particular to a wiring base and wall switch. Background Technology

[0002] Wall switches and sockets are low-voltage electrical appliances installed on walls, generally used to control the on / off state of electrical circuits or to supply power to other appliances. With modern interior design placing increasing emphasis on aesthetics and space utilization, users generally prefer smaller wall switches and sockets.

[0003] Wall switches and sockets typically include a mounting plate, a decorative panel, an operating mechanism, and a wiring base responsible for electrical connections. The wiring base contains wiring components, which include a wiring frame and fastening bolts.

[0004] Existing terminal blocks typically have wiring holes for power cable insertion on the bottom wall and fastening holes for bolts to pass through on the upper and lower side walls. This forces the wiring components to be installed parallel to the panel, resulting in a longer vertical width of the terminal block. This is especially problematic for multi-position switches, where the larger terminal block makes installation in confined spaces inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] To ensure a small size while improving wiring efficiency, this application provides a wiring base and a switch.

[0006] Firstly, the wiring base disclosed in this application adopts the following technical solution: A wiring base includes a base box and wiring terminals disposed inside the base box. The wiring terminals include a wiring sleeve for inserting the end of a power supply wire and a fastener for securing the wire. The bottom of the base box is provided with a plurality of wiring portions, each wiring portion including a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The axes of the first sidewall and the second sidewall are inclined relative to the axis of the base box. The first sidewall has a wiring hole through which the power supply wire passes, and the second sidewall has a fastening hole through which the fastener passes.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined wiring section allows the wiring sleeve to be installed at an angle inside the box, thereby reducing the cross-sectional size of the box, optimizing space utilization, and reducing the overall size of the switch. When multiple wiring bases are arranged side by side, the inclined fastening holes and wiring holes are more ergonomic, providing more operating space and preventing excessive bending of the wires, making it easier for users to connect and fasten the wires.

[0008] Optionally, a relay section is provided on one side of several of the wiring sections, and a jumper hole is provided on the side wall of the relay section. The relay section is located near the first side wall or the second side wall.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when multiple wiring bases are set up, the relay section effectively increases the distance between the wiring parts of different wiring bases, thereby forming a larger operating space, which facilitates wiring and fastening operations. At the same time, it makes the wiring structure of the base more compact.

[0010] Optionally, the inner wall of the bottom box is connected to several partition plates, and a fixed cavity is formed between adjacent partition plates for placing the wiring terminals respectively.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, different wiring terminals are arranged separately at the physical level, effectively preventing accidental short circuits between different circuits.

[0012] Optionally, the inner wall of the wiring sleeve is provided with several anti-detachment grooves.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the friction between the wire and the junction box can be greatly increased, ensuring the long-term stability of the electrical connection.

[0014] Optionally, the bottom box is connected to a positioning seat for fixing the wiring sleeve, and the bottom wall of the positioning seat abuts against the outer wall of the wiring sleeve.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the junction box can be effectively fixed to prevent the junction box from loosening inside the junction box.

[0016] Optionally, the wiring hole includes an inlet hole and an outlet hole, the wiring part with the inlet hole is protruding, and a sealing rod is connected to the inner wall of the outlet hole.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the protruding design makes the incoming line end more conspicuous, preventing the live wire in the electrical box from being connected incorrectly, and the sealing rod can play a foolproof role.

[0018] Secondly, the wall switch disclosed in this application adopts the following technical solution: A wall switch includes a mounting plate abutting against a wall, a decorative panel covering the surface of the mounting plate, a mounting base detachably connected to the mounting plate, an operating mechanism disposed within the mounting base, and the aforementioned wiring base. A snap-fit ​​block is connected to the side wall of the mounting base. The base box is detachably connected to the mounting base. The mounting plate has a through hole for the mounting base to be inserted into, and the inner wall of the through hole has a snap-fit ​​groove for the snap-fit ​​block to be inserted into. The operating mechanism includes a button rotatably connected to the decorative panel or the mounting base, a swing element disposed below the button and rotatably connected to the mounting base, a stationary contact connected to a wiring sleeve of an output hole, and a moving contact connected to a wiring sleeve of an inlet hole.

[0019] Optionally, the swinging component includes a swing plate and a swing rod connected to the bottom of the swing plate. The swing rod has a receiving groove, and a spring is provided in the receiving groove. The top wall of the moving contact plate is provided with a fixing part for the spring to be sleeved.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be ensured that the spring will not be misaligned, so that the force of the spring during torsion can be effectively transmitted to the moving contact, causing the moving contact to rotate.

[0021] Optionally, the side wall of the swing rod is provided with a clearance hole for the moving contact piece to pass through, and the inner wall of the clearance hole is connected to a toggle block for moving the moving contact piece.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the actuating block can abut against the moving contact piece, converting the rotational motion of the swinging component into a toggle force on the moving contact piece, thereby ensuring that the moving contact piece can abut against or disconnect from the stationary contact piece.

[0023] Optionally, a reinforcing frame is connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the structural strength of the mounting plate is effectively enhanced, preventing damage when the mounting plate is fixed to the wall surface.

[0025] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects: 1. The angled wiring section effectively optimizes the size of the wiring base, allowing for a smaller cross-sectional area. This facilitates the use of a smaller mounting plate, resulting in a smaller overall switch size. When multiple wiring bases are arranged side-by-side, the angled wiring section provides more operating space, making wiring and fastening easier.

[0026] 2. By setting up partitions to separate multiple terminals, physical isolation can be achieved in a relatively compact space, reducing electrical interference between adjacent circuits and lowering the risk of short circuits. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] This application discloses a wiring base and a wall switch. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The wall switch includes a mounting plate 4 that abuts against the wall, a decorative panel 5 covering the surface of the mounting plate 4, a mounting base 6 that is detachably connected to the mounting plate 4, an operating mechanism 7 disposed in the mounting base 6, and a wiring base. The mounting plate 4 has through holes 41 for the mounting base 6 to be inserted, and there are three wiring bases.

[0031] The wiring base includes a base box 1 and a wiring terminal 2 connected to the inner bottom wall of the base box 1. The wiring terminal 2 includes a wiring sleeve 21 disposed on the inner bottom wall of the base box 1 and a fastener 22 that passes through and is threaded to the wiring sleeve 21. The bottom of the base box 1 is provided with a plurality of wiring portions 11, which are adjacent to each other. The wiring portion 11 includes a first side wall 111 and a second side wall 112. The first side wall 111 has a wiring hole 113 through which the power supply wire passes, and the wiring hole 113 is directly opposite the wiring sleeve 21. The second side wall 112 has a fastening hole 114 through which the fastener 22 passes. The base box 1 is provided with a positioning seat 3 for fixing the wiring sleeve 21.

[0032] When connecting the wires, pass the wires of the electrical box and the electrical appliance through different wiring holes 113 and insert them into the wiring sleeve 21. Then tighten the fasteners 22 to complete the wire installation. At this time, the electrical appliance can be switched on and off by operating the mechanism 7.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2The bottom of the mounting base 6 is detachably connected to the base box 1. A snap-fit ​​block 61 is circumferentially connected to the side wall of the mounting base 6, and a snap-fit ​​groove 411 is provided on the inner wall of the through hole 41 for inserting the snap-fit ​​block 61. The snap-fit ​​block 61 and the snap-fit ​​groove 411 cooperate to achieve quick installation of the mounting base 6, thus realizing modular assembly. In use, the wire can be connected to the wiring base first, and then the mounting base 6 can be inserted into the through hole 41 of the mounting plate 4. When it is necessary to replace the wiring base or internal parts, the mounting base 6 can be removed from the mounting plate 4 by gently prying it from the side with a small pry bar or screwdriver.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The axes of the first sidewall 111 and the second sidewall 112 are inclined relative to the axis of the base box 1. This allows the entire wiring section 11 to be inclined, thereby reducing the cross-sectional area of ​​the base box 1 and increasing the space of the base box 1 in the thickness direction. This results in a smaller and more uniform size for the entire wiring base, allowing it to be placed on a smaller mounting plate 4 to meet different needs. When applied in multi-position switches, multiple base boxes 1 are arranged side by side. Due to the inclined arrangement of the wiring section 11, there is a larger operating space between adjacent base boxes 1. The inclined wiring holes 113 and fastening holes 114 are more ergonomic, effectively reducing the bending of the wires and facilitating the insertion of fastening tools into the fastening holes 114, making it easier for users to fasten and wire.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The inner wall of the connector sleeve 21 is provided with several anti-detachment grooves 211. The anti-detachment grooves 211 can greatly increase the friction between the wire and the connector sleeve 21, prevent the wire from loosening and falling off due to vibration, pulling and other reasons, and ensure the long-term stability of the electrical connection.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 Each terminal block 11 has a relay section 12 on one side. The relay section 12 has a jumper hole 121, and its side wall abuts against the first side wall 111. The relay section 12 is used for jumpering to facilitate wire layout. When multiple terminal blocks are arranged side by side, the relay section 12 effectively increases the distance between the terminal blocks 11 of different adjacent terminal blocks, further creating a larger operating space, thereby facilitating wire connection and fastening operations.

[0037] In this embodiment, the relay unit 12 is disposed on the side near the first sidewall 111; in other embodiments, the relay unit 12 may also be disposed on the side near the second sidewall 112. Comparatively, being near the first sidewall 111 results in a shorter distance between the jumper hole 121 and the wiring hole 113, making jumpering easier.

[0038] Reference Figure 3The wiring hole 113 includes an inlet hole 1131 and two outlet holes 1132. The outlet holes 1132 are used to connect to the wires of electrical appliances, and the inlet holes 1131 are used to connect to the wires of power supply terminals such as electrical boxes. The wiring part 11 with the inlet hole 1131 is protruding, and a T-shaped sealing rod 115 is connected to the inner wall of one of the outlet holes 1132. The protruding design makes the wiring part 11 with the inlet hole 1131 more conspicuous, reducing the possibility of incorrect wiring. The sealing rod 115 is easy to remove. When the user needs to use the double-control switch, removing the sealing rod 115 will enable the second outlet hole 1132.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 The inner wall of the bottom box 1 is connected to several partition plates 13, and a fixed cavity 14 is formed between adjacent partition plates 13 for placing the wiring terminals 2 respectively. When the wires are connected, the partition plates 13 can physically separate the different wiring terminals 2, thereby effectively reducing the risk of short circuit.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The operating mechanism 7 includes a button 71 rotatably connected to the decorative panel 5, a swing member 72 rotatably connected to the mounting base 6 below the button 71, a stationary contact 73 connected to the wiring sleeve 21 of the output hole 1132, and a moving contact 74 connected to the wiring sleeve 21 of the inlet hole 1131. Because the moving contact 74 is connected to the wiring sleeve 21 of the inlet hole 1131, the moving contact 74 is always energized. When the button 71 is pressed, the moving contact 74 rotates, separating from the stationary contact 73 on one side and contacting the stationary contact 73 on the other side, thus completing the circuit switching.

[0041] Reference Figure 6 The swing element 72 includes a swing plate 721 and a swing rod 722 fixedly connected to the bottom of the swing plate 721. The swing rod 722 has a receiving groove 723, in which a spring 75 is disposed. A fixing part 741 is provided on the top wall of the movable contact 74. One end of the spring 75 abuts against the inner top wall of the receiving groove 723, and the other end is sleeved on the fixing part 741. When the swing element 72 rotates, the spring 75 will be compressed and bent in the receiving groove 723. When it rotates to a certain extent, the spring 75 is released, thereby pushing the movable contact 74 to swing, realizing rapid circuit switching and improving electrical safety. The side wall of the swing rod 722 has a clearance hole 724 for the movable contact 74 to pass through. An actuating block 725 for actuating the movable contact 74 is connected to the inner wall of the clearance hole 724. When the swing member 72 rotates, the toggle block 725 can abut against the moving contact 74, thereby forcibly turning the moving contact 74 to the other side, ensuring that the switch can perform the switching function.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 7A reinforcing frame 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting plate 4. The reinforcing frame 42 has a honeycomb mesh structure. The reinforcing frame 42 can increase the strength of the mounting plate 4 without affecting its aesthetics and thickness, thus effectively improving the durability of the mounting plate 4.

[0043] The implementation principle of the wiring base and wall switch in this application embodiment is as follows: During installation, the live wire of the power supply end is inserted into the inlet hole 1131, and the live wire of the appliance is inserted into the outlet hole 1132. The connection is completed by tightening the fastener 22. The wiring base is connected to the mounting base 6 and installed into the mounting plate 4. The mounting plate 4 is then fixed to the wall surface. Finally, the decorative panel 5 and the button 71 are covered on the surface of the mounting plate 4 to complete the installation.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
