Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a switch and a socket, specifically to a base, a wall switch, and a wall socket. Background Technology

[0002] A switch is an electronic component that can open a circuit, interrupt current, or divert it to another circuit. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the increasing demands for product operation, coupled with the growing number of household appliances, the demand and application of wall switches are becoming increasingly widespread, especially the demand for wall switches. A "wall switch" refers to an electrical switch installed on a wall, used to connect and disconnect circuits, such as those controlling lighting. In a narrower sense, electrical products usually refer only to switches and sockets in building electrical systems. A wall switch typically includes a switch base, internal functional components, and buttons or sockets. The internal functional components are mounted on the switch base, and the circuit is connected or disconnected by pressing the button. Existing wall switches usually include a mounting bracket, a junction box, and internal functional modules. The junction box is installed in the wall, and the internal functional modules are located on the base and then fixed to the junction box by the mounting bracket. A panel is usually also installed on the mounting bracket. Depending on the internal functional components and the panel, they can be classified as sockets or switches. In actual installation, since the mounting bracket is fixed to the junction box with screws, workers usually tighten the screws with force to ensure reliable fixation without considering the deformation of the base. The deformation of the base will cause the moving contact of the internal functional component to change the movement distance, resulting in insufficient arc opening distance and posing a certain safety hazard.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Depend on Figure 1 Combination Figure 2-4 As shown, a base includes: Mounting plate 2 is used for installation; the mounting plate 2 is provided with mounting holes 21 for installation. Side panel 3 is connected to mounting plate 2; The base plate 4 is connected to the side plate 3; the base plate 4 includes an upper bottom surface 41 and a lower bottom surface 42, and the upper bottom surface 41 and the side plate 3 cooperate to form an accommodating cavity 43. A reinforcing component 5 is disposed on the lower bottom surface 42 and surrounds the base plate 4. The beneficial effects of this invention are that the reinforcing component, which surrounds the base plate, increases the base's strength, prevents deformation during installation, avoids affecting the performance of internal functional components, and enhances safety. This invention also features a simple structure, convenient assembly, and long service life.

[0021] The reinforcing component 5 includes a first reinforcing rib 51, which surrounds the lower bottom surface 42 of the base plate 4. Specifically, the connection between the side plate 3 and the lower bottom surface 42 is rounded at a corner 52 or chamfered, and the first reinforcing rib 51 is located at the rounded corner 52 or chamfered and surrounds the lower bottom surface 42 of the base plate 4. The first reinforcing rib strengthens the product structure, prevents deformation of the base, makes it more stable, and increases the installation strength of the product.

[0022] The reinforcing component includes a stress-relieving groove 53, which is disposed on the base plate 4 and on the same side as the mounting hole 21. Specifically, there are two stress-relieving grooves 53, corresponding to the mounting holes 21. The stress-relieving grooves 53 are elongated, and the first reinforcing rib 51 extends towards the mounting plate 2 to form a reinforcing groove 54. The stress-relieving groove prevents excessive torque during electric installation, which could cause deformation and failure of the product (base), thus increasing product safety. Specifically, it makes the base plate less prone to deformation, thereby ensuring that the internal wall functional components mounted on the base plate are not affected by product installation.

[0023] The reinforcing components include a second reinforcing rib 55 and a third reinforcing rib 56. The stress-relieving groove 53 is located between the first reinforcing rib 51 and the second reinforcing rib 55, and the third reinforcing rib 56 is located in the middle of the second reinforcing rib 55. This design makes the base plate less prone to deformation and increases the product strength.

[0024] It also includes an edge 6, which surrounds the outer side of the mounting plate 2, and a side groove 61 is provided between the edge 6 and the mounting plate 2. This makes the product more integral, extends its service life, saves materials, and reduces costs.

[0025] This utility model also includes a partition 7 disposed within the accommodating cavity 43. A partition groove 71 is formed between the side plate 3 and the partition 7. A mounting groove 22 is provided at the mounting hole 21, and the mounting groove 22 extends to the partition 7. The partition also shares some of the force when the product is subjected to stress, thus providing a certain degree of support.

[0026] A wall switch includes a panel 8, an internal functional component 9, and a base 1. The internal functional component 9 is disposed on a base plate 4 and faces a receiving cavity 43. The panel 8 controls the operation of the internal functional component and switches circuits by swinging. (See attached diagram for embodiment 1.) Figure 1-4 The base of this invention can be used in switches. The increased strength of the base prevents it from affecting the internal functional components, mainly to avoid affecting the movement of the moving contact and the arc distance. Generally speaking, the internal functional components can be implemented using existing devices (such as terminals, stationary contacts, moving contacts, etc.), which will not be elaborated here.

[0027] A wall socket includes a panel, an internal functional component, and a base 1. The internal functional component is disposed on a base plate 4 and faces a receiving cavity 43. The panel has a socket for inserting a plug to connect with the internal functional component. (Another embodiment is not shown in the drawings; the base in this invention can also be used on a socket.)
