Description

An intelligent switch panel transfer box Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of Internet of Things intelligent switch panels, and in particular to an intelligent switch panel adapter box. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the Internet and Internet of Things technology, smart furniture is becoming more and more popular and used, such as smart door locks, electric curtains, or smart home appliances.

[0003] In existing technology, smart furniture requires intelligent or scene-based switch converters. Furthermore, smart devices, such as mobile phones or tablets, require different power sources, such as AC power output or USB DC voltage output. Therefore, conventional four- or five-hole sockets used in homes are no longer able to meet the needs of smarter and more diverse power conversion.

[0004] Existing smart or scene switch converters are generally a wall-mounted adapter board that extends from a standard AC power socket on the wall to connect to multiple branch circuits. At the same time, the adapter board further extends to connect to smart switch panels and multi-port USB panels.

[0005] The standard dimensions of the 86-type junction box used in building standards are 86*86*32 mm. Existing conventional sockets installed using 86-type junction boxes typically have panels with five or four outputs and are screwed into the concealed 86-type junction box in the wall. Because of its aesthetically pleasing concealed design, it has been widely adopted as a building material standard. In IoT, remote control, or DC multi-port output scenarios, plugging in conventional splitter adapters requires a significant amount of space within the standard wall junction box, and the splitter adapters must protrude further from the wall to accommodate various smart panels. The overlapping plug-in arrangement of these conventional splitter adapters and various smart panels causes the overall smart conversion device to protrude significantly from the wall, impacting the aesthetics of interior decoration. Furthermore, with the multi-layered plug-in arrangement, the panel pins require mechanical connections in addition to the electrical connection, making them susceptible to falling off during unstable insertion or accidental collision. This poor electrical connection stability for IoT-based smart furniture compromises the overall user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, the intelligent switch panel adapter box of this embodiment includes a box body 1, an adapter module 2, and a power output module 6. The adapter module 2 and the power output module 6 are modular components and can have the same structure. In the embodiment without a ground wire, the structure will be different.

[0038] The box body 1 includes a bottom wall 11, four side walls 12-15, and a frame 16-19. The bottom wall and four side walls of the box body 1 need to be installed with an 86-type junction box or an open box, and winding space is reserved at the bottom of the 86-type junction box. The frame of the box body 1 is basically aligned with the top of the 86-type junction box. This makes the box body basically flush with the wall after the panel is installed, just like an ordinary socket. In this embodiment, in order to adapt to the 86-type junction box setting of the building line, the length D2 of the box body 1 is within 88 mm, the width D3 of the box body is within 88 mm, and the height of the box body accounts for most of the height of the 86-type junction box or the 86-type junction box, so as to ensure that the panel adapter is basically flush with the wall like an ordinary socket after the panel is installed, while realizing various intelligent application control, Internet of Things control, and remote control.

[0039] As shown in FIG2 , the bottom wall 11 is provided with multiple modular areas within a transverse plane, i.e., within a plane defined by the X-axis and the Y-axis. In the embodiment shown in FIG2 , four modular areas A1-A4 are provided. It is understood that two, three, or five modular areas may also be provided. A single modular area does not exceed three-quarters of the bottom wall area.

[0040] The housing 1 forms multiple compartments C1-C4 along the longitudinal Z-axis from each module area. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2 , compartment C1 extends from module area A1 along the Z-axis, and compartment C4 extends from module area A4 along the Z-axis. The adapter module 2 is mounted on the first module area A1 of the bottom wall 11 and is located within the compartment C1 corresponding to the first module area A1. The power output module 6 is mounted on the fourth module area A4 of the bottom wall 11 and is located within the compartment C4 corresponding to the fourth module area A4.

[0041] The adapter module 2 includes an input terminal and a first panel plug-in terminal. The input terminal is located behind the first module area A1 of the bottom wall 11 and is connected to the mains power line via neutral, live, and ground wire interfaces. The first panel plug-in terminal is located within the spatial confines of the first partition space C1. The input terminal and the first panel plug-in terminal are connected by a first adapter circuit. The first panel plug-in terminal has jacks arranged in a predetermined pattern, such as jacks 2136.

[0042] The power output module 6 includes an output terminal and a second panel plug-in terminal. The output terminal is located behind the fourth module area A4 of the bottom wall 11 and is connected to the lighting control line via at least one LiveWire interface. The second panel plug-in terminal is located within the space of the fourth partition space C4. The output terminal and the second panel plug-in terminal are connected by a second adapter circuit. The second panel plug-in terminal has jacks with a predetermined arrangement, such as the branch line jack 6136.

[0043] In order to further optimize the space through spatial dislocation, the input end is fully or partially retracted into the partition space C1 corresponding to the first module area A1. The output end is fully or partially retracted into the partition space C4 corresponding to the fourth module area A4. For example, the partition space C1 of the box body 1 shown in Figure 2 is a columnar space with a height close to H starting from the first module area A1 of the bottom wall 11, and the partition space C4 is a columnar space with a height close to H starting from the fourth module area A4 of the bottom wall 11. The adapter module 2 is installed within the scope of one of the multiple partition spaces C1-C4, and the power output module 6 is installed within the scope of another partition space. In this embodiment, the adapter module 2 is set in the first partition space C1, and the adapter module 2 can also be set in the second partition space C2 or the third partition space C3. The power output module 6 is set in the fourth partition space C4, and the power output module 6 can also be set in the second partition space C2 or the third partition space C3. The structures of the adapter module 2 and the power output module 6 are retracted as much as possible in the corresponding partition space to optimize space utilization.

[0044] Referring to Figures 12 and 13 , in this embodiment, the panel 9 is an intelligent switch panel. The intelligent switch panel includes a cover 90 and a rearwardly protruding housing 92 for mounting the relay and control circuit board. A first and second pin modules are centrally symmetrically arranged on the rear of the panel 9.

[0045] During connection, the neutral, ground, and live pins of the first plug module, or in embodiments without a ground wire, the neutral and live pins, need to be connected to the corresponding neutral, live, and ground jacks of the adapter module 2 in the electrical box; the multiple live pins of the second plug module need to be connected to the corresponding branching jacks of the power output module 6 in the electrical box. The first panel plug-in end of the adapter module 2 needs to be elevated by a stepped structure to ensure close electrical connection with the pins on the first, most recessed step of the panel 9. The second panel plug-in end of the power output module 6 needs to be elevated by a stepped structure to ensure close electrical connection with the pins on the fifth, most recessed step of the panel 9. The multiple pins of the first and second plug modules of the intelligent switch panel 9 need to be of sufficient length. For example, pins 912 and 972 need to be extended from the control circuit board in the cover 90, which is generally located at the front end of the panel 9. The height of the first and second panel plug-in ends of the electrical box needs to be close enough to the pins of the panel to ensure a stable electrical connection. In terms of the electrical box structure, the first panel plug-in terminal and the second panel plug-in terminal are sufficiently close to the frame in the corresponding partition space, that is, close to the cover 90 of the intelligent switch panel 9.

This first safety door mechanism includes a first safety door plate 31 slidably mounted on the insulating plate 32. The first safety door plate 31 defines a first tilted push door 311, which is aligned with the live wire socket 2137. The first safety door plate 31 also includes a first spring positioning block 312, on which a first spring 35 is mounted. The other end of the first spring 35 is sleeved onto a first spring positioning post 2134 below the first plug cover 21. The first safety door plate 31 slides in contact with the first plug cover 21 via the first spring 35. When the panel pins are plugged into the adapter module 2, the first tilted push door 311, pushed by the pins, causes the first safety door plate to slide to the side, exposing the live wire contact, thus preventing accidental electric shock.

[0066] Similarly, the second safety door mechanism of the power output module 6 is the same as the first safety door mechanism of the adapter module 2 and will not be described in detail.

[0067] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the arrangement of the neutral and live wire jacks, or the neutral, ground, and live wire jacks, on the first plug-in cover plate 21, as well as the two or three branch line jacks on the second plug-in cover plate 62, can be varied based on the internal circuit design of the switch panel and the available space in the corresponding panel plug-in section, with the goal of optimizing space utilization. The following description will be based on the arrangement of the neutral, ground, and live wire jacks on the first plug-in cover plate 21; the branch line jacks on the second plug-in cover plate 61 are arranged in the same manner.

[0068] Referring to FIG9 , in an embodiment of a middle frame without a ground wire, the arrangement of the sockets on the first panel plug-in end of the intelligent switch panel adapter electrical box includes a horizontal arrangement 51, a vertical arrangement 53, and a diagonal arrangement 52. Referring to FIG10 , in an embodiment of a middle frame with a ground wire, the arrangement of the sockets on the first panel plug-in end of the intelligent switch panel adapter electrical box includes a horizontal arrangement 54, a vertical arrangement 56, a diagonal arrangement 55, or a staggered arrangement.

[0069] As shown in FIG1 , in order to adapt to standard wall junction boxes in various countries, the first countersunk hole 161 and the second countersunk hole 182 are runway-shaped countersunk holes that provide locking redundancy. The center axis hole distance D1 between the first countersunk hole 161 and the second countersunk hole 182 ranges from 57 to 63 mm, so that when multiple 86-type junction boxes 100 are installed side by side in the living room, different panels can still be easily plugged in and installed without interfering with or squeezing each other.

[0070] Referring to Figures 7 and 8 , in the separate grounding embodiment, the input terminal features a separate grounding interface located behind the first module area A1 on the bottom wall 11. This interface is controlled by a grounding locking member at a 90-degree angle or angle K on the back of the housing 1'. In this embodiment, the first plug-in cover 21 only accommodates the neutral and live wire sockets, thus narrowing the width to create space within the first compartment C1 for the grounding contact spring. The structure of the power output module 6 in the fourth compartment C4 remains unchanged.

[0071] In addition to being the ground contact spring 471 shown in FIG6 , the ground contact spring can also be the convex grounding piece 2135' shown in FIG7 , in which case the adapter module 2 has a live socket 2136' and a neutral socket 2137'. The ground contact spring can also be the spring-type spring 2135" shown in FIG8 , in which case the adapter module has a live socket 2136" and a neutral socket 2137". The ground contact spring can also be a concave grounding piece. The structure of the power output module 6 in the fourth partition space C4 in the above embodiment remains unchanged.

[0072] In the embodiment shown in Figure 15 , the structure of the adapter module 2 in the first compartment C1 is identical to that shown in Figure 7 , except that the power output module 6 is located in the third compartment C3. Furthermore, the second adapter circuit is simplified to three protruding conductors 85'-87', which are electrically connected to the first through third live wire interfaces located in the third compartment C3. Each live wire interface is connected to a light control line.

[0073] The above disclosure is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present application. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present application are still within the scope covered by the present application.
