[0044] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates specific embodiments of the smart socket with a touch switch according to the present invention. The smart socket with a touch switch of the present invention is not limited to the description of the following embodiments.

[0045] like Figure 1-3 As shown in Figures 12-13, the smart socket with a touch switch in this embodiment includes a panel 2, a cover plate 3, a touch circuit board 5, a circuit board assembly 8, and a base 9. The base 9 has a base cavity 92 on its front side. The circuit board assembly 8 is installed inside the base cavity 92 and includes a main circuit board 81 and multiple sockets 83. The touch circuit board 5 and the sockets 83 are electrically connected to the main circuit board 81. The cover plate 3 is fitted onto the opening of the base cavity 92, and the panel 2 is fitted onto the front side of the base 9. The panel 2 has multiple socket holes 23 corresponding to the multiple sockets 83, and the cover plate 3 has multiple cover plate through holes 33 corresponding to the multiple socket holes 23. Specifically, the touch circuit board 5 is connected to the back side of the cover plate 3 facing the main circuit board 81 and away from the panel 2. Figure 5 , 12 As shown, the circuit board assembly 8 in this embodiment also includes an auxiliary circuit board 84, which is electrically connected between the main circuit board 81 and the touch circuit board 5, and is located between the main circuit board 81 and the touch circuit board 5; the sleeve 83 is located between the main circuit board 81 and the cover plate 3, and is located on the same side of the auxiliary circuit board 84 and the touch circuit board 5. The panel 2 can be connected to the front of the base 9 by means of snap-fit, screw connection, etc.; the touch circuit board 5 can be connected to the back of the cover plate 3 by means of adhesive, snap-fit, etc.

[0046] It should be noted that the main circuit board 81 is used for the electrical connection between the socket 83 and the power supply. The main circuit board 81 typically contains a relay for controlling the on / off state of the smart socket circuit. The touch circuit board 5 acts as a sensor board, and the auxiliary circuit board 84 includes a touch detection circuit for touch detection. When a finger touches the designated area corresponding to the touch circuit board 5 of the smart socket, the capacitance of the touch circuit board 5 changes, causing the auxiliary circuit board 84 to generate a signal to control the relay in the smart socket circuit to operate. The relay connects or disconnects the smart socket circuit; this is existing technology and will not be elaborated further. The auxiliary circuit board 84 can also be used to display the on / off state of the smart socket circuit and / or the network connection status.

[0047] The smart socket with touch switch in this embodiment has two circuit boards in the circuit board assembly 8: a main circuit board 81 for electrical connection between the socket 83 and the power supply, and an auxiliary circuit board 84 for touch detection. The touch detection circuit is structurally independent of the main circuit of the socket, making the socket more reliable and safe, and facilitating quick maintenance. Moreover, the touch circuit board 5 is integrated with the back of the cover plate 3. The socket 83 is located between the main circuit board 81 and the cover plate 3, and on the same side as the auxiliary circuit board 84 and the touch circuit board 5. The structure is simple, the layout is compact and reasonable, and it is easy to install. Furthermore, since the touch circuit board 5 is located on the back of the cover plate 3, the cover plate 3 provides electrical isolation not only for the circuit board assembly 8 but also for the touch circuit board 5. Even after removing the panel 2 during the disassembly and assembly of the smart socket, the touch circuit board 5 will not come into contact with it, making the smart socket safer and meeting the requirements of national standards.

[0048] like Figure 4 , 8 As shown in Figure 10, the touch circuit board 5 has a flat structure and is copper-plated on both sides. The touch circuit board 5 has at least one positioning notch on its side, and the cover plate 3 has a positioning protrusion corresponding to the positioning notch on its back. The touch circuit board 5 is quickly and accurately positioned on the back of the cover plate 3 through the positioning notch and the positioning protrusion, facilitating rapid installation and ensuring consistency of the designated area corresponding to the touch circuit board 5, thus improving the reliability of touch performance. Furthermore, the positioning notch is located on the side of the touch circuit board 5 near the edge of the cover plate 3 and away from the socket 83.

[0049] like Figure 5 , 11As shown in Figure -12, the circuit board assembly 8 of this embodiment further includes a fixing plate 82 covering the front of the main circuit board 81. The front of the fixing plate 82 is provided with a plurality of socket slots corresponding to a plurality of sockets 83. The smart socket with touch switch of this embodiment also includes a pressure plate 7. The pressure plate 7 is provided with a plurality of pressure plate through holes 71 corresponding to a plurality of sockets 83. The pressure plate 7 confines each socket 83 within the corresponding socket slot on the fixing plate 82. The fixing plate 82 and the pressure plate 7 cooperate to both limit the installation of the sockets 83 and provide electrical isolation for the sockets 83, separating the sockets 83 from each other, and from the main circuit board 81, the touch circuit board 5, etc.

[0050] Furthermore, a protective door 6 and a reset spring connected to the protective door 6 are provided between the pressure plate 7 and the cover plate 3. The protective door 6 is slidably arranged, and the reset spring drives the protective door 6 to block the pressure plate through hole 71. When the plug pin is inserted, it can push the protective door 6 to overcome the force of the reset spring and move it away from the pressure plate through hole 71. The smart socket with touch switch in this embodiment includes two sockets 83, which serve as neutral and live wire sockets respectively, a protective door 6 corresponding to the two sockets 83, and a return spring (not shown in the figure) connected to the protective door 6. The protective door 6 is located between the pressure plate 7 and the cover plate 3 and closes the pressure plate through hole 71 on the pressure plate 7 corresponding to the neutral and live wire sockets. The protective door 6 is slidably disposed. When the plug is inserted into the socket, the plug pin pushes open the protective door 6, so that the protective door 6 overcomes the force of the return spring and moves away from the pressure plate through hole 71 on the pressure plate 7 corresponding to the neutral and live wire sockets. Thus, the plug pin can pass smoothly through the pressure plate through hole 71 and be inserted into the socket 83. When the plug is pulled out of the socket, the plug pin separates from the protective door 6, so that the protective door 6 returns to its original position under the force of the return spring and closes the pressure plate through hole 71 on the pressure plate 7 corresponding to the neutral and live wire sockets again. In this embodiment, the reset spring is connected between the protective door 6 and the cover plate 3. Alternatively, the reset spring can be connected between the protective door 6 and the pressure plate 7.

[0051] Specifically, the smart socket in this embodiment is a five-hole socket, which includes five sockets 83. These five sockets 83 are two neutral wire sockets, two live wire sockets, and one ground wire socket. One neutral wire socket, one live wire socket, and one ground wire socket form a three-prong socket structure, and the other neutral wire socket and the other live wire socket form a two-prong socket structure. The neutral wire sockets of the three-prong socket structure and the neutral wire sockets of the two-prong socket structure are integrally connected by a neutral wire connecting strip, and the live wire sockets of the three-prong socket structure and the live wire sockets of the two-prong socket structure are integrally connected by a live wire connecting strip. Preferably, the sockets 83 are electrically connected to the main circuit board 81 through plug-in connection. The neutral wire connecting strip, the ground wire socket, and the live wire connecting strip are each provided with a plug 831. The main circuit board 81 is provided with slots corresponding to the plugs 831, and each plug 831 passes through the fixing plate 82 and is plugged into the corresponding slot on the main circuit board 81. Furthermore, the neutral wire connector, ground wire socket, and live wire connector are arranged in a straight line with their tabs 831 spaced apart. The back of the fixing plate 82 has two isolation ribs that pass through the main circuit board 81 and are located between two adjacent tabs 831, thus providing electrical isolation.

[0052] In this embodiment, the smart socket with touch switch has two protective doors 6. One protective door 6 corresponds to the neutral wire socket and the live wire socket of the three-prong socket structure, and the other protective door 6 corresponds to the neutral wire socket and the live wire socket of the two-prong socket structure.

[0053] like Figure 5 , 12 As shown, the main circuit board 81, auxiliary circuit board 84, and touch circuit board 5 are arranged parallel to each other. A conductive post 86 is provided on the front side of the main circuit board 81. The conductive post 86 passes through the fixing plate 82 and is perpendicularly connected between the main circuit board 81 and the auxiliary circuit board 84. A spring pin 85, electrically connected to the touch circuit board 5, is provided on the front side of the auxiliary circuit board 84. The spring pin 85 connects with the touch circuit board 5, forming a circuit path. The conductive post 86 can be connected to the main circuit board 81 and the auxiliary circuit board 84 by soldering or other methods. The layout is compact and reasonable, facilitating installation, and the electrical connection structure between the auxiliary circuit board 84 and the main circuit board 81 and touch circuit board 5 is simple.

[0054] like Figure 4 , 7As shown in Figure 9, the auxiliary circuit board 84 of this embodiment is provided with indicator lights (not shown) for indicating the circuit on / off status and / or network connection status of the smart socket. The cover plate 3 is provided with light guide pillars 4 corresponding to the indicator lights, and the panel 2 is provided with light-transmitting holes 24 corresponding to the light guide pillars 4. When the relay connects the circuit of the smart socket, the indicator light in the circuit lights up, and light shines through the light guide pillars 4, then through the light-transmitting holes 24 of the panel 2, and finally projects out from the decorative panel 1. The auxiliary circuit board 84 displays the circuit on / off status and / or network connection status of the smart socket through indicator lights. The indicator lights are located on the auxiliary circuit board 84, closer to the panel 2, and are positioned to correspond to and avoid the touch circuit board 5, facilitating prompts for pressing.

[0055] Furthermore, the touch circuit board 5 has a clearance notch, and the light guide post 4 is located within the clearance notch. One end of the light guide post 4 is a light guide post mounting part 41, and the other end is a light guide post limiting part 42. The size of the light guide post limiting part 42 is larger than the size of the light guide post mounting part 41. The cover plate 3 has a mounting hole 32 that mates with the light guide post mounting part 41. The light guide post mounting part 41 is inserted into the mounting hole 32, and the light guide post limiting part 42 is matched with the cover plate 3 to limit and position the light guide post 4. Preferably, the light guide post mounting part 41 is a circular cylindrical structure, and the light guide post limiting part 42 is an arc-shaped boss structure. Of course, the light guide post mounting part 41 can also be a square or other shaped cylindrical structure, and the light guide post limiting part 42 can also be a circular or square or other shaped boss structure.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , 8 As shown in Figure 10, the side of the touch circuit board 5 in this embodiment is provided with two positioning notches, namely a first positioning notch 51 and a second positioning notch 52. The first positioning notch 51 and the second positioning notch 52 have different structures, and the size of the first positioning notch 51 is larger than that of the second positioning notch 52. Correspondingly, the back of the cover plate 3 is provided with a first positioning protrusion 31 and a second positioning protrusion 35, which are respectively corresponding to the first positioning notch 51 and the second positioning notch 52. The first positioning protrusion 31 is a boss structure, and the second positioning protrusion 35 is a column structure. In this embodiment, the first positioning notch 51 not only cooperates with the first positioning protrusion 31 to position the touch circuit board 5, but also serves as the avoidance notch for avoiding the light guide post 4. That is, the light guide post 4 is located in the first positioning notch 51 of the touch circuit board 5 and is installed on the first positioning protrusion 31 of the cover plate 3. The first positioning protrusion 31 of the cover plate 3 is provided with a receiving space for accommodating the light guide post limiting part 42, and the receiving space of the first positioning protrusion 31 of the cover plate 3 is provided with a limiting boss 36 that cooperates with the limiting part 42 of the light guide post. The mounting hole 32 is provided on the limiting boss 36.

[0057] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the smart socket with touch switch in this embodiment also includes a decorative panel 1. The decorative panel 1 has a flat structure and is provided with multiple decorative panel through holes 12 corresponding to multiple sockets 23. The decorative panel 1 covers and is bonded to the front of the panel 2. The front of the panel 2 is provided with an annular overflow groove 22 to prevent glue from overflowing. The decorative panel 1 is a light-transmitting decorative panel, and the light-transmitting decorative panel covers the light-transmitting through holes 24, so that the decorative panel 1 and the panel 2 can be made of different materials. The panel 2 has high insulation and hardness, while the decorative panel 1 is made of light-transmitting material, which is cost-effective, beautiful, covers the light-transmitting through holes 24, and allows light to pass through.

[0058] Furthermore, on the front side of the panel 2, the edges of each socket 23 are raised to form annular socket bosses 21. The socket bosses 21 extend into the through holes 12 of the decorative panel, and the socket bosses 21 are flush with the front side of the decorative panel 1.

[0059] like Figure 8 , 13 As shown, the cover plate 3 has at least one buckle 34 on its side, and the base 9 has a buckle groove 93 corresponding to the buckle 34 around the opening of the base cavity 92 on its front side. The buckle 34 is engaged in the corresponding buckle groove 93. The cover plate 3 is connected to the base 9 by the buckle 34 being engaged in the buckle groove 93, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the cover plate 3.

[0060] The installation process of the smart socket with touch switch in this embodiment is as follows: First, the circuit board assembly 8 is installed in the base cavity 92, and then the pressure plate 7 is installed in the base cavity 92. Next, the light guide post 4 is installed in the mounting hole 32 on the cover plate 3, and the touch circuit board 5 is glued to the back of the cover plate 3. Then, the protective door 6 and the reset spring are installed into the cover plate 3 to form the cover plate assembly. Then, the cover plate assembly is installed on the base 9 by the buckle 34 of the cover plate 3 being snapped into the buckle groove 93 of the base 9. Finally, the decorative panel 1 is glued to the panel 2, and then the panel 2 is installed on the base 9.
