Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch electrical equipment structure technology, and in particular to an integrated smart wall switch. Background Technology
[0002] As an essential circuit control device in homes, offices, and industrial settings, the safety and stability of wall switches are paramount. To prevent dust accumulation from affecting the sensitivity of switch contacts, to prevent water splashing into the switch and causing short circuits in humid environments, and to prevent accidental operation, protective covers are typically installed on the switch panel. However, most existing integrated wall switch protective covers are fixed to the base using screws or simple interference clips. This traditional design often requires users to use screwdrivers or other specialized tools to remove the protective cover during initial installation, routine deep cleaning, or internal fault repair. This not only makes the disassembly and assembly process cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, but frequent use of tools can also cause wear on the mounting holes or breakage of the clips, leading to loosening or even failure of the protective structure, failing to meet the modern home's demand for convenient maintenance of electrical appliances.
[0003] Therefore, this utility model proposes an integrated smart wall switch to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems in the existing technology, the wall switch protective cover relies heavily on auxiliary tools during installation and disassembly, the operation steps are cumbersome and time-consuming, and long-term disassembly and assembly can easily lead to damage to the connection structure and inconvenience in maintenance. The present invention aims to provide a one-piece smart wall switch with an improved structure that can effectively solve the above problems.
[0005] This utility model provides an integrated smart wall switch, including: a switch mechanism, the switch mechanism including a switch base; and a disassembly mechanism, the disassembly mechanism including a cover base, the cover base being detachably mounted on the switch base.
[0006] The disassembly / assembly mechanism further includes a crossbar, a handle, a first spring, and a first wedge. The crossbar is slidably connected inside the switch base, the handle is fixedly connected to the crossbar, and the first spring is disposed between the crossbar and the switch base. The crossbar has a first wedge, and the base of the cover has a second wedge that cooperates with the first wedge. The crossbar is held in position by the elastic force of the first spring, causing the first wedge and the second wedge to be in a locked engagement state. The crossbar can be moved by the handle to release the locked state. This mechanical cooperation enables quick disassembly / assembly without tools.
[0007] Preferably, one end of the handle is connected to the crossbar, and the other end extends through the side wall of the switch base to the outside, so as to facilitate direct manual operation by the user. The first spring is located at the end of the crossbar away from the handle. One end of the first spring abuts against the crossbar, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the switch base, thereby providing a continuous reset bias force for the crossbar and ensuring the reliability of the locking.
[0008] Preferably, the integrated smart wall switch further includes a telescopic mechanism and a housing, the housing being disposed on one side of the housing base. The top end of the housing is rotatably connected to the top end of the housing base, allowing the housing to flip and open relative to the housing base, thereby achieving physical shielding and protection of the internal switch area.
[0009] Preferably, the telescopic mechanism includes a connecting rod, a second rotating shaft, and a third rotating shaft. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the middle of the cover shell via the second rotating shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the third rotating shaft, thereby forming a linked support structure between the cover shell and the cover base.
[0010] Preferably, the two side walls of the cover base are respectively provided with sliding grooves, which extend along the height direction of the cover base. The two ends of the third rotating shaft are respectively slidably engaged with the interior of the two sliding grooves, and the third rotating shaft can reciprocate along the sliding grooves, thereby guiding the opening and closing trajectory of the cover shell and limiting its maximum opening angle.
[0011] Preferably, the top sidewall of the slide is provided with a groove, the shape of which is adapted to the outer contour of the third rotating shaft. When the cover shell is flipped upward, the third rotating shaft can be engaged in the groove to limit the cover shell, and the structural engagement prevents the cover shell from automatically falling back under gravity, making it convenient for user operation.
[0012] Preferably, the integrated smart wall switch further includes a latching mechanism for locking the housing in a closed state. The latching mechanism includes a latching block, a third wedge, and a second spring. The latching block is fixedly disposed on the inner surface of the lower end of the housing and provides a locking hook structure when closed.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom end of the cover base is provided with a mounting groove, and the third wedge is slidably mounted in the mounting groove. The second spring is disposed between the third wedge and the cover base, and provides elastic force for the third wedge to move toward the locking block. When the cover shell is closed, the locking block and the third wedge form a locking engagement, realizing an automatic locking function.
[0014] Preferably, the first wedge is disposed in the grooves at both ends of the crossbar. There are four second wedges, which are distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the cover base. The position of the first wedge corresponds to the position of one of the second wedges on one side. This multi-point distribution design improves the balance and stability of the disassembly and assembly mechanism connection.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, by setting a disassembly and assembly assembly consisting of a handle, a crossbar, and a spring inside the switch base, and by using the first wedge on the crossbar to elastically engage with the second wedge on the cover base, the problem of cumbersome installation and disassembly of existing wall switch protective covers, which usually require professional tools and are time-consuming, is solved. This achieves the goal of quick assembly and disassembly of the cover base and the switch base without the need for any tools, greatly improving the convenience of subsequent maintenance, cleaning, and replacement.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, by setting a telescopic mechanism consisting of a connecting rod, a rotating shaft, and a sliding groove between the cover shell and the cover base, and setting a limiting groove at the top of the sliding groove, the problem of existing switch masks being unable to stably maintain a specific angle after opening and easily falling back due to gravity, interfering with user operation, is solved. The opening trajectory of the cover shell is stable and controllable, and the rotating shaft can automatically engage with the groove to achieve suspension and locking when opened to the maximum angle, maintaining the open state without manual support, significantly optimizing the user operation experience.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] Example: Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides an integrated smart wall switch, which aims to solve the structural defects of existing wall switch protective covers, such as the need for tools during installation and disassembly, cumbersome operation, inability to stably position the cover after opening, and unreliable closing and locking.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main structure of the integrated smart wall switch includes a switch mechanism 1 and a disassembly and assembly mechanism 2 that is detachably mounted on the switch mechanism 1. The switch mechanism 1 serves as the fixed base of the device, used to install various electrical components and fix them to the wall surface. The disassembly and assembly mechanism 2 serves as the main support for the protective components, used to realize the rapid installation and maintenance disassembly of the protective structure.
[0023] Specifically, the switch mechanism 1 is mainly composed of a switch base 102, which has a box-shaped structure and an internal cavity for accommodating electrical circuits and mechanical parts. The disassembly and assembly mechanism 2 is mainly composed of a cover base 206, a crossbar 205, a handle 204, a first spring 203, and a first wedge 201. The cover base 206 is located above the switch base 102, and the two are fixedly connected through internal mechanical cooperation.
[0024] An installation cavity is provided inside the switch base 102, and a crossbar 205 is slidably connected to the installation cavity. The length direction of the crossbar 205 is parallel to the width direction of the switch base 102. The crossbar 205 can reciprocate linearly along its axial direction within the installation cavity. A first wedge 201 is provided on the side surface of the crossbar 205 near the cover base 206. The first wedge 201 protrudes from the surface of the crossbar 205 and is used to provide a horizontal locking structure. In this embodiment, the first wedge 201 is disposed in the grooves at both ends of the crossbar 205 to ensure force balance.
[0025] One end of the handle 204 is fixedly connected to one end of the crossbar 205, and the other end of the handle 204 extends through the side wall of the switch base 102 to the outside of the switch base 102. The handle 204 serves as the user's operating end and is used to transmit the externally applied pulling force to the crossbar 205. The first spring 203 is disposed at the end of the crossbar 205 away from the handle 204. The first spring 203 is located between the crossbar 205 and the inner wall of the switch base 102. Specifically, one end of the first spring 203 abuts against the end of the crossbar 205, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the switch base 102. The first spring 203 provides a restoring elastic force to the crossbar 205 in a naturally extended or compressed state, so that the crossbar 205 always maintains a tendency to move towards the side closer to the handle 204.
[0026] The cover base 206 has four second wedges 202 corresponding to the positions of the first wedges 201, distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the cover base 206. The first wedges 201 and one of the second wedges 202 on one side are positioned to cooperate. Under normal conditions, the crossbar 205 is kept in the locked position under the elastic force of the first spring 203, so that the first wedges 201 and the second wedges 202 are locked together. At this time, the inclined surface or locking surface of the first wedge 201 is in close contact with the second wedge 202, thereby firmly locking the cover base 206 onto the switch base 102. When disassembly is required, the handle 204 is pulled outward, and the crossbar 205 is displaced against the resistance of the first spring 203, causing the first wedges 201 and the second wedges 202 to separate, releasing the locked state, and the cover base 206 can be removed.
[0027] To address the technical problem in the prior art where the switch cover cannot be stably maintained at a specific angle after being opened and tends to automatically fall back, the integrated smart wall switch in this embodiment also includes a cover shell 101 and a telescopic mechanism 3. Furthermore, the telescopic mechanism 3 is disposed between the cover shell 101 and the cover base 206, and the two form a specific linkage support structure through the telescopic mechanism 3.
[0028] The cover 101 serves as a protective panel and is located on the side of the cover base 206 away from the switch base 102. The top of the cover 101 is rotatably connected to the top of the cover base 206 via a pin, allowing the cover 101 to rotate and open relative to the cover base 206 around the top rotation axis, thereby achieving shielding and protection of the internal switch area and operation visibility.
[0029] The telescopic mechanism 3 is mainly composed of a connecting rod 305, a second rotating shaft 301, a third rotating shaft 302, a sliding groove 303, and a groove 304. The connecting rod 305 serves as the main supporting connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the middle part of the cover shell 101 through the second rotating shaft 301. The connecting rod 305 can rotate relative to the cover shell 101 around the second rotating shaft 301. The other end of the connecting rod 305 is connected to the third rotating shaft 302. The third rotating shaft 302 is used to establish a moving fulcrum on the cover base 206.
[0030] Meanwhile, the two side walls of the cover base 206 are respectively provided with sliding grooves 303. The sliding grooves 303 extend along the height direction of the cover base 206 to form a long strip-shaped guide channel. The two ends of the third rotating shaft 302 are respectively slidably fitted into the inside of the two sliding grooves 303. The outer diameter of the third rotating shaft 302 is adapted to the groove width of the sliding groove 303, so that the third rotating shaft 302 can move back and forth along the length direction of the sliding groove 303, thereby guiding the opening and closing trajectory of the cover shell 101 and limiting the maximum opening angle of the cover shell 101.
[0031] A groove 304 is provided on the top side wall of the slide 303. The shape of the groove 304 is adapted to the outer contour of the third rotating shaft 302. The groove 304 is offset and recessed to one side of the slide 303 to form a locking structure. When the cover shell 101 is flipped upward to the maximum opening angle, the connecting rod 305 drives the third rotating shaft 302 to slide upward along the slide 303 to the top and lock into the groove 304 for limiting support. Gravity and structural locking force are used to prevent the cover shell 101 from falling back accidentally, ensuring the convenience of the user when operating the switch.
[0032] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention may further include the following preferred technical solutions: As a preferred embodiment, in order to solve the problem that the cover shell is not securely locked in the closed state and is easily affected by external forces to automatically pop open, the integrated smart wall switch also includes a latching mechanism 4 for locking the cover shell in the closed state. The latching mechanism 4 is mainly composed of a latching block 401, a third wedge block 402 and a second spring 403. The latching block 401 is fixedly set on the inner surface of the lower end of the cover shell 101 as an active locking member. The latching block 401 has a barb-shaped or wedge-shaped structure protruding inward, which is used to form a fastening with the components on the cover base.
[0033] Specifically, the bottom end of the cover base 206 is provided with a receiving groove. The third wedge 402 is slidably installed in the receiving groove and can be displaced in the vertical direction. The second spring 403 is disposed in the receiving groove and located above the third wedge 402. The two ends of the second spring 403 abut against the inner wall of the third wedge 402 and the cover base 206, respectively. When the second spring 403 is in a compressed state or a state to be compressed, it provides a downward-facing return spring for the third wedge 402. When the cover shell 101 closes downwards, the locking block 401 moves downwards with the cover shell 101 and contacts the guide slope of the third wedge 402, pushing the third wedge 402 to slide upwards against the elastic force of the second spring 403. After the locking block 401 passes the locking point, the third wedge 402 quickly rebounds and resets under the action of the second spring 403, forming a locking engagement with the locking block 401, thereby tightly fastening the cover shell 101 onto the cover base 206.
[0034] As another preferred embodiment, in order to improve the balance and stability of the disassembly and assembly mechanism and prevent the cover base from loosening due to uneven force, the number of second wedges 202 in the disassembly and assembly mechanism 2 is set to four. These four second wedges 202 are distributed at the four corners of the bottom of the cover base 206, forming a rectangular distribution of locking points. Correspondingly, the first wedges 201 are set in the grooves at both ends of the crossbar 205. The position of the first wedges 201 corresponds to the position of the second wedges 202 on the same side. When the handle 204 is in the natural state, the first wedges 201 at both ends of the crossbar 205 can simultaneously lock the second wedges 202 on the corresponding side. With the help of the fixing structure or limiting structure on the other two sides, multi-point stable support for the cover base 206 is achieved.
[0035] Working Principle: When initial installation or maintenance of the wall switch is required, first fix the switch base 102 to the pre-drilled hole in the wall. Next, the operator pulls the handle 204 outwards. The handle 204 causes the crossbar 205 to slide inside the switch base 102, compressing the first spring 203. As the crossbar 205 moves, the first wedges 201 at both ends of the crossbar 205 simultaneously shift, thus avoiding the locked position. At this point, the cover base 206 is placed over the switch base 102, and the handle 204 is released. The first spring 203 releases its elastic force, pushing the crossbar 205 back to its original position, causing the first wedges 201 to engage with the second wedges 202 at the four corners of the cover base 206, completing the quick and secure connection between the cover base 206 and the switch base 102.
[0036] When the user needs to use the switch or perform internal operations, the cover shell 101 is flipped upwards. The cover shell 101 rotates around the top rotating connection point, simultaneously driving the connecting rod 305 in the middle to move. The connecting rod 305 pulls the third rotating shaft 302 to slide upwards within the sliding grooves 303 on both sides of the cover base 206. Due to the linkage between the connecting rod 305 and the third rotating shaft 302, the opening trajectory of the cover shell 101 is smoothly guided. When the cover shell 101 is opened to its maximum angle, the third rotating shaft 302 slides to the top of the sliding groove 303 and engages inside the recess 304. Utilizing the limiting and holding effect of the recess 304 on the third rotating shaft 302, the cover shell 101 is stably suspended in the open state, preventing it from automatically falling back, facilitating user operation with both hands.
[0037] When the operation is complete and the protection needs to be closed, the user applies force to pull the cover shell 101 downwards, causing the third rotating shaft 302 to disengage from the groove 304 and fall downwards along the slide groove 303. When the cover shell 101 approaches the closed position, the locking block 401 at the bottom of the cover shell 101 contacts and presses against the third wedge block 402 inside the cover base 206. The locking block 401 pushes the third wedge block 402 downwards against the elastic force of the second spring 403. After the locking block 401 passes the locking point of the third wedge block 402, the third wedge block 402 quickly rebounds upwards under the restoring force of the second spring 403, hooking the locking block 401, thereby achieving automatic locking of the cover shell 101 and ensuring a tight fit of the protective mask.
[0038] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
