Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent switch panel technology, and in particular to a modular and expandable intelligent scene switch panel. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional wall switch panels are typically fixed structures, with the number of switches determined at the factory, making it impossible to expand or reduce them based on subsequent user needs. In modern smart home environments, users often need to add new smart device control units (such as adding curtain controls, scene mode switching, environmental sensors, etc.). In this case, the traditional solution is to remove the original panel, rewire, and install a brand new panel with more buttons. This process is cumbersome, costly, and wastes resources.
[0003] Existing technologies also include some modular switch panels, but their connection methods mostly rely on screw fixing or simple snap-fit structures, resulting in problems such as unstable splicing and easy loosening, affecting user experience and safety. More importantly, while these modules achieve mechanical connections, they often fail to integrate efficient and reliable electrical connection solutions, still requiring complex internal wiring to achieve circuit interconnection. This not only increases installation complexity but also introduces potential connection failure risks.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a smart switch panel solution that can truly achieve fast, non-destructive, and flexible expansion. It should have a robust mechanical connection, reliable and synchronous electrical connection characteristics, and support users to easily install and remove it according to their actual needs. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a modular and scalable intelligent scene switch panel.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a modular and expandable intelligent scene switch panel, including an intelligent panel frame, a switch panel body, a connecting rod, wedge-shaped blocks, positive terminals, negative terminals, and a locking assembly. Two intelligent panel frames are provided, each with a switch panel body mounted on its front side. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the right side of the inner side of the intelligent panel frame, with through holes at its upper and lower ends. Wedge-shaped blocks are symmetrically arranged on the left side of the intelligent panel frame, forming a sliding fit with the through holes. Three positive terminals are spaced apart at the center of the left end face of the intelligent panel frame, and three negative terminals are spaced apart at the center of the right end face of the intelligent panel frame. The positive terminals are plugged into and engaged with the negative terminals of adjacent switch panel units. A locking assembly is provided on the connecting rod.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the inclined surface of the wedge-shaped block is covered with a layer of wear-resistant coating with a low coefficient of friction.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the positive terminal and the negative terminal are made of phosphor bronze, and their contact surfaces are silver-plated.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the positioning component includes a positioning block, a return spring, and a pressing rod. The inner side of the symmetrical wedge-shaped positioning block is provided with a positioning groove. The right side of the outer frame of the smart panel is symmetrically slidably connected to the pressing rod. The pressing rod is slidably engaged with the connecting rod on the corresponding side. The positioning block is connected to the pressing rod near the through hole. The positioning block is slidably connected to the connecting rod. A return spring is provided between the positioning block and the connecting rod. The positioning block is inserted into the positioning groove.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the positioning block has a square structure and a rounded corner guide structure at the top corner of the edge.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a spring sheet. A spring sheet is symmetrically connected to the left end of the outer frame of the smart panel. An elongated hole is opened on the spring sheet, and the elongated hole is fitted onto the positive terminal at the corresponding height.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes a back plate. The back plate is installed on the rear side of the smart panel frame, and positioning mounting holes are opened at the four top corners of the back plate.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, it also includes adhesive backing, with adhesive backing glued to the rear side of the back panel.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the adhesive backing is a high-viscosity acrylic foam tape.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the connecting rod and the wedge-shaped block are integrally injection molded from polycarbonate engineering plastic.
[0016] Beneficial effects: 1. By sliding the wedge-shaped block with the through hole and combining the automatic locking function of the locking component, a fast and reliable mechanical connection between multiple switch panel units is achieved. This design allows users to flexibly increase or decrease the number of panels according to actual needs. It is highly expandable, easy to install, and can be spliced without additional tools.
[0017] 2. During the mechanical splicing process, the positive terminal and the negative terminal are automatically connected as the unit is attached, realizing the synchronous completion of the power connection between the expansion units. This integrated design avoids tedious individual wiring work, ensures the reliability and consistency of the circuit connection, and effectively improves the installation efficiency.
[0018] 3. During disassembly, simply press down the lever to release the engagement between the positioning block and the positioning slot. The operation is simple. The spring plate releases the accumulated elastic potential energy at the moment of unlocking, which can help push the two units apart, avoiding the trouble of prying during disassembly and making the separation of the modules more convenient and effortless.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] Example: A modular and scalable smart scene switch panel, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes a smart panel frame 1, a switch panel body 2, a connecting rod 3, a wedge-shaped locking block 4, a positive terminal 8, a negative terminal 9, a spring sheet 10, and a locking assembly. Two smart panel frames 1 are provided, each with a switch panel body 2 mounted on its front side. A connecting rod 3 is fixedly connected to the right side of the inside of the smart panel frame 1. Through holes 31 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the connecting rod 3. Wedge-shaped locking blocks 4 are symmetrically arranged on the left side of the smart panel frame 1, forming a sliding fit with the through holes 31. When the two switches are in contact... When the panel units are assembled together, the wedge-shaped locking block 4 on the end face of the smart panel frame 1 can engage with the through hole 31 on the adjacent unit, thus achieving mechanical splicing. The inclined surface of the wedge-shaped locking block 4 is covered with a wear-resistant coating with a low coefficient of friction, which can significantly reduce the sliding friction resistance when the wedge-shaped locking block 4 is inserted into the through hole 31, making the splicing process smoother and less labor-intensive, while reducing wear and extending service life. Furthermore, the connecting rod 3 and the wedge-shaped locking block 4 are integrally injection molded from polycarbonate engineering plastic, which has high mechanical strength and toughness. To ensure wear and breakage resistance during repeated insertion and removal, three positive terminals 8 are spaced apart on the middle of the left end face of the smart panel frame 1, and three negative terminals 9 are spaced apart on the middle of the right end face of the smart panel frame 1. When assembling two switch panel units, the positive terminals 8 are inserted into the corresponding negative terminals 9 of the adjacent unit to achieve electrical connection. The positive terminals 8 and negative terminals 9 are made of phosphor bronze, and their contact surfaces are silver-plated. Phosphor bronze has good elasticity and conductivity, ensuring the protection of the terminals after insertion. It maintains stable contact pressure; the precious metal plating can effectively prevent oxidation, reduce contact resistance, and ensure long-term reliability and high conductivity of electrical connection. The connecting rod 3 is equipped with a locking component. Spring plates 10 are symmetrically connected to the upper and lower left end face of the smart panel frame 1. The spring plates 10 are provided with elongated holes 101. The elongated holes 101 are fitted onto the positive terminal 8 at the corresponding height. When two switch panel units are spliced, the spring plates 10 are pressed tightly against the end face of the adjacent unit, which enhances the tightness and stability of the splicing structure and prevents loosening.
[0031] like Figures 2-3As shown, the locking assembly includes a positioning block 5, a return spring 6, and a pressing rod 7. A positioning groove 41 is provided on the inner side of the symmetrically arranged wedge-shaped locking blocks 4. The pressing rod 7 is symmetrically slidably connected to the right side of the smart panel outer frame 1. The pressing rod 7 slides in cooperation with the corresponding connecting rod 3. A positioning block 5 is welded to the pressing rod 7 near the through hole 31. The positioning block 5 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 3. A return spring 6 is provided between the positioning block 5 and the connecting rod 3. When the wedge-shaped locking block 4 is inserted into the through hole 31, the positioning block 5 can be locked into the positioning groove 41. During disassembly, pressing the pressing rod 7 causes the positioning block 5 to exit the positioning groove 41, thus releasing the lock and allowing the module to be separated. The positioning block 5 has a square structure with rounded corner guides at the top corners, which greatly simplifies the splicing operation. When the positioning block 5 is inserted into the positioning groove 41, it guides the centering, ensuring smooth installation even with slight deviations in the installation position.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a back plate 11 and an adhesive backing 13. The back plate 11 is installed on the rear side of the smart panel frame 1. Positioning mounting holes 12 are opened at the four top corners of the back plate 11 for screw fixing, so as to realize the reliable installation of the smart panel frame 1 in the mounting position and facilitate disassembly and maintenance. The back plate 11 is glued with adhesive backing 13. By bonding the back plate 13 to the mounting surface, the installation stability of the back plate 11 can be further enhanced, and displacement caused by vibration or external force can be avoided. The adhesive backing 13 is a high-viscosity acrylic foam tape, which has the characteristics of high initial tack, strong holding power and excellent aging resistance. Its soft foam substrate can adapt to the slight unevenness of the wall surface, providing more contact surface and adhesive force, ensuring the firmness and durability of the adhesive installation.
[0033] When implementing this utility model, the smart panel frame 1 is first fixed to the preset installation position using the positioning mounting holes 12 on the back plate 11 and screws. It can also be simultaneously adhered to the wall using adhesive 13 to improve installation stability. When expanding the modules, the switch panel units to be assembled are brought close together. The wedge-shaped locking block 4 of the switch panel unit is aligned with the through hole 31 on the connecting rod 3 of the adjacent unit and pushed in. The wedge-shaped locking block 4 presses against the positioning block 5 through its inclined surface, causing it to move downwards and compress the return spring 6. The pressing rod 7 moves synchronously. When the wedge-shaped locking block 4 is fully inserted and the positioning groove 41 aligns with the positioning block... When the 5-axis alignment is correct, the reset spring 6 pushes the positioning block 5 into the positioning groove 41, completing the mechanical interlock. At the same time, the positive terminal 8 and the negative terminal 9 are connected to form a circuit connection. During the splicing process, the spring plate 10 undergoes elastic deformation, continuously providing clamping force to enhance the tightness of the interface and prevent loosening of the connection. Through the above structure, the modular expansion installation of multiple switch panel units can be realized. When disassembling, press down the pressure rod 7 to make the positioning block 5 exit the positioning groove 41. With the assistance of the rebound force of the spring plate 10, the two switch panel units separate from each other, thereby realizing the rapid disassembly and expansion of the module.
[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
