Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a separate grounding conductive sheet, and also to a terminal low-voltage electrical appliance using the separate grounding conductive sheet. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional low-voltage electrical appliances, such as power sockets, circuit breakers, and power switches, typically use an integral grounding conductor. For example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the traditional power switch 200 uses an integral grounding conductive sheet 201. The mounting ends of the grounding conductive sheet 201 are connected to the mounting positions of the power switch 200 to achieve reliable grounding. This integral structure of the grounding conductive sheet 201 has the following drawbacks: because the middle of the grounding conductive sheet must leave space for the installation of the internal structure of the power switch, material in the middle of the grounding conductive sheet 201 needs to be removed. This removed material accounts for approximately 50% of the material used to make the grounding conductive sheet, and this removed material is usually disposed of as waste, resulting in a significant waste of materials. Utility Model Content
[0003] One of the technical problems to be solved by this utility model is to provide a separate grounding conductive sheet, which overcomes the defect of the existing technology that results in a great waste of materials in the production of grounding conductive sheets.
[0004] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a terminal low-voltage electrical appliance that overcomes the defect of excessive material waste in the grounding conductive sheet of existing terminal low-voltage electrical appliances.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve one of its technical problems is as follows: A separate grounding conductive sheet is constructed for grounding connection of terminal low-voltage electrical appliances. Its features include a pair of mating grounding conductive sheets: a first grounding conductive sheet, a second grounding conductive sheet, and a third conductive element. The first and second grounding conductive sheets each include an assembly end and an installation end for assembly with the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance. The assembly end includes an insertion end inserted into one of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance housings corresponding to the installation hole A of the grounding conductive sheet, and a snap-fit end vertically positioned relative to the insertion end. The snap-fit end mates with the corresponding snap-fit position of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance, snapping the upper and lower housings of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance together. The installation end is used to install the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance at an installation position to achieve grounding of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance. The third conductive element is disposed inside or outside the housing of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance and is electrically connected to the first and second grounding conductive sheets, respectively.
[0006] In the separate grounding conductive sheet of this utility model, the conductive element three is a wire with bent ends at both ends. The terminal low-voltage electrical appliance housing includes a mounting hole B that mates with the bent ends of the wire. The two bent ends of the wire are respectively inserted into the mounting hole B of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance housing. The insertion ends of the grounding conductive sheet one and the grounding conductive sheet two are respectively inserted into the mounting hole A and pressed onto the bent ends of the wire to achieve electrical connection.
[0007] In the separate grounding conductive sheet of this utility model, the conductor is one or two.
[0008] In the detachable grounding conductive sheet of this utility model, the conductive element three is a conductive sheet, which is attached to the outer or inner side of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance housing, with both ends extending to the snap-fit position of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance housing; the insertion ends of the grounding conductive sheet one and the grounding conductive sheet two are respectively inserted into the mounting hole A of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance housing, and the snap-fit ends are snapped into the snap-fit position of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance, thus achieving electrical connection with the conductive element three.
[0009] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its second technical problem is: to construct a terminal low-voltage electrical appliance, including a body and a grounding conductive sheet disposed on the body, characterized in that the grounding conductive sheet is one of the above-mentioned separate grounding conductive sheets.
[0010] In the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance of this utility model, the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance is a power socket, a circuit breaker, or a power switch.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of implementing the separate grounding conductive sheet and terminal low-voltage electrical appliance of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. The material utilization rate of the grounding conductive sheet is nearly doubled, reducing the manufacturing cost of the grounding conductive sheet and terminal low-voltage electrical appliances;
[0013] 2. Reduced the weight of terminal low-voltage electrical appliances;
[0014] 3. The structure is simple and easy to implement. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to typical embodiments and accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in each view indicate the same or similar parts. Although the specification discloses typical embodiments, other embodiments may exist that modify the embodiments described herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The following detailed description does not limit the present invention; the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
[0025] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the separate grounding conductive sheet 10 of this utility model is used to realize the grounding connection of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100, including a pair of grounding conductive sheet one 11, grounding conductive sheet two 12 and conductive element three 13.
[0026] Grounding conductive sheet 11 and grounding conductive sheet 12 respectively include an assembly end and a mounting end for assembly with the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100 (the following is an explanation using the reference numerals 121 and 122, respectively, for example, grounding conductive sheet 12). The assembly end 121 includes an insertion end 1211 that inserts into the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance cover 101 corresponding to the mounting hole A of the grounding conductive sheet, and a snap-fit end 1212 that is vertically arranged with the insertion end 1211 (in this embodiment, the insertion end of the grounding conductive sheet assembly end is inserted into the cover 101 of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance housing; in other embodiments, the insertion end of the grounding conductive sheet assembly end can also be inserted into the bottom cover of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance housing). The snap-fit end 1212 engages with the corresponding snap-fit position of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100, snapping the upper and lower housings of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100 together (e.g., ...). Figure 9(As shown) (In this embodiment, the corresponding fastening position of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100 is set on the bottom cover so that the fastening end 1212 of the grounding conductive sheet fastens the front cover and the bottom cover of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance together. In other embodiments, when the insertion end 1211 of the grounding conductive sheet assembly end 121 is inserted and engaged with the bottom cover 102 of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100, the corresponding fastening position of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100 will be set on the front cover. At this time, the fastening end 1212 of the grounding conductive sheet 121 engages with the fastening position on the front cover to fasten the front cover and the bottom cover (and upper and lower housings) of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100 together.) The mounting end 122 is used to install the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100 in the mounting position to achieve grounding of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100.
[0027] The conductive component 13 can be installed inside or outside the housing of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100, and is electrically connected to the grounding conductive piece 11 and the grounding conductive piece 2 12 respectively, connecting the grounding conductive piece 11 and the grounding conductive piece 2 12 into a complete grounding conductor to achieve reliable grounding of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100.
[0028] In this embodiment, the conductive component 313 is disposed inside the housing cover 101 of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100. For example... Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, conductive component 3 13 is made of wire with both ends bent. Mounting holes B1010, corresponding to the bent ends of the wire, are provided on the cover of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance 100. The two bent ends of the wire are inserted into the mounting holes B1010 of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance housing. The insertion ends of grounding conductive plate one and grounding conductive plate two are inserted into the mounting holes A of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance housing and then pressed onto the bent ends of the wire to achieve electrical connection. The insertion of the bent ends of the wire into the mounting holes B1010 ensures a reliable electrical connection between the grounding conductive plate insertion end 1211 and conductive component 3 13 during assembly.
[0029] In this embodiment, conductive element 3 13 uses a single wire. In other embodiments, conductive element 3 13 may use two wires, which are electrically connected to the two insertion ends of each grounding conductive piece.
[0030] like Figure 9As shown, in another embodiment, the conductive element 13 adopts a conductive sheet structure. This conductive sheet is attached to the outer side of the bottom cover 102 of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance, and both ends of the conductive element 13 extend to the snap-fit position of the bottom cover 102. The insertion ends of the grounding conductive sheet 11 and the grounding conductive sheet 12 are respectively inserted into the mounting holes A of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance cover, and the snap-fit ends 1212 are snapped into the snap-fit position of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance, achieving electrical connection with the conductive element 13. In this embodiment, the conductive element 13 of the conductive sheet structure is attached to the outer side of the bottom cover of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance with the snap-fit position. In other embodiments, the conductive element 13 of the conductive sheet structure can also be attached to the inner side of the bottom cover of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance with the snap-fit position. In other embodiments, when the snap-fit position is located on the cover of the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance, the conductive element 13 of the conductive sheet structure can also be attached to the inner or outer side of the cover (it can be arranged along the circumference of the cover).
[0031] like Figures 3 to 9 As shown, the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance of this utility model includes a body and a grounding conductive sheet disposed on the body. The grounding conductive sheet adopts the aforementioned separate grounding conductive sheet. The structure of the separate conductive sheet and its connection relationship with the terminal low-voltage electrical appliance body are as described above, and will not be repeated here.
[0032] The terminal low-voltage electrical appliances of this utility model include, but are not limited to: power sockets, circuit breakers, and power switches.
[0033] Various embodiments have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, it is obvious that various modifications and changes can be made to obtain other embodiments without departing from the scope of the claims of this utility model, and other embodiments that can also achieve the purpose of this utility model will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
