The utility model provides a kind of electrical socket box with novel bus structure, and this novelty bus structure makes can suitably change socket unit to be installed under a plurality of orientations.The advantage that the utility model provides is that the electrical socket box has the socket unit that can rotate freely, and does not increase the complexity and the cost of this socket box design.
Fig. 1 shows according to electrical socket box of the present utility model.Only show the base portion 1 of housing among the figure, the top is not shown or covers 5 (they are shown in Figure 3).Base portion two or more buses of surperficial within it upper support or power track 2.In family/office's occasion, there is load three buses of the live wire of electric network source system, zero line and ground wire.Yet, two buses (for example, not having ground wire) can only be arranged, perhaps the bus more than three.But interchange (AC) system (for example, three phase mains) of any kind of that bus load socket box is suitable for handling.Optionally, but bus load direct current (DC) voltage.
Every bus all ends in connector at least one end, thereby makes bus is connected to power supply.Cable can provide the connection to every bus.Cable can be directly wired in the socket box, make cable and socket box form monomeric unit.Cable can end in the connector that is suitable for being connected on the power-supply system at its free end, perhaps can be directly wired in the power-supply system (for example, at electric network terminal assembly place).Preferably, socket box is not provided with the cable that is directly wired to bus, but is provided with a set of connectors completely, so that can be connected to socket box apace by the connector of suitable remodeling or disconnect from socket box.
Bus is the bar that electric conducting material is made, and is used at the electric power of socket box internal burden from the power supply that is connected with socket box.Bus along its length at a plurality of somes place, promptly constitute the connector of receiving socket unit at the mounting points place.The fixture that is suitable for the corresponding connector fixed engagement of socket unit can be on every bus be set in each mounting points place, but preferably, bus be configured as at the mounting points place can be by socket unit corresponding connector and engagement connection on these mounting points.In the plane that is approximately perpendicular to the base portion plane, bus is preferably elongated at the mounting points place, so that such engagement connection.
Bus is by the base portion supports of socket box housing.Bus can be fixed on correct position by any suitable device, and for example, being suitable in clip, the housing base portion remains on groove, screw or other mechanical fixed parts that inserts under cooperating with bus.Described one or more connectors by every bus can be suitable at least in part bus being fixed on the base unit.Optionally, every bus can only be supported on the base portion, organize projections between more, and these projections are positioned to prevent that bus from laterally moving in base unit.In such setting, can bus and socket unit be remained on correct position place on the base unit by the be suitable for lid that engages with base portion or the top 5 of housing.
Further preferably, each end of socket box all is provided with jockey, and bus is extending between the connector at each place, end of socket box.But this makes socket box string data ground chain connect together.Most preferably, socket box is a modular jack box, and it at one end has recessed 3, has male member 4 at the other end, and described recessed and male member are suitable for two socket boxes are directly linked together: recessed the male member of admitting second socket box of a socket box.This feasible plate connector box that can become have the socket unit of ideal quantity and type by plural this modular jack box-like.
Fig. 2 shows the structure according to bus 2 of the present utility model.Socket unit 6 can be connected to bus in each place in one or more installation sites.Fig. 2 shows four socket units that are connected to bus four installation sites.Each installation site all can be limited in the base unit of socket box by in following one or more: the bus setting; The guiding device that being suitable for of base unit engages with socket unit; And the aperture position in the base unit.
Each socket unit 6 has plural Elecrical connector 7; A connector is used for a bus (in the drawings, each socket unit has three clips, is used for each root of three buses).In a preferred embodiment, the connector Flexible clamp of serving as reasons and making such as the electric conducting material of metal.But the clip spring-loaded, thereby engage the opposite side of bus in the mode of pinching the formula clamping.A kind of specially suitable clamp apparatus is the socket clip, and it has two and is biased into the elastic arm that presses each other in the biting point.The free end of described arm is bent away from each other, can push the folder mouth of bus thereby form, thereby can separate gripper-arm and bus is firmly held between the gripper-arm.
Use Flexible clamp to be, between clip and bus, realized extraordinary electrical connection as the advantage that connector has.And it has prevented that clip from moving with respect to bus, minimizes thereby make the wearing and tearing on clip and the bus and tear, and form mechanical connection between socket unit and bus (thereby and base unit).Be convenient to the profile that clip engages in order to form, bus with the plane of base portion plane approximate vertical in preferably elongated.
Preferably, connector 7 provides the mechanical bond to bus, thereby by connector socket unit is remained on correct position at least in part.Advantageously, connector makes can push engage with bus, thereby can socket unit be cooperated with base unit by socket unit is shifted onto.This is by using resilient socket clip as shown in the figure to realize.
For advantage of the present utility model is provided, connector 7 can be to be suitable at least two kinds of orientations with socket unit to provide to the connector of any kind of the electrical connection of bus, and more preferred embodiment in, it need not mechanically to clamp bus.Yet some aspect of the common structure of socket unit and socket box (no matter its be by to the connection of bus or by the mechanical bond between base portion/top and the jack housing) each determines that the rotation under the orientation brings " effective resistance " at it to the socket unit in the socket box.Term " effective resistance " refer to need be not only only to the frictional resistance of motion: have mechanical bond to a certain degree between socket unit and socket box (base portion and/or top), this mechanical bond be we can say the effect of socket unit in its installation site rotation that prevent of having played.
Can be connected to the orientation of bus by the wherein socket unit that limited quantity is provided, each connector can be sized to the most adaptive with the cross section of the bus that can be used for being connected.For example, bus is in the polygonal execution mode therein, and the size of connector can be defined as being complementary with the length of the side of the polygonal segment that is limited by its corresponding bus.For given bus structure, electrical connection and mechanical connection optimum that this makes socket unit formation to bus.
Socket box can be defined as and comprise base unit, and this base unit comprises base portion 1, top 5 and power track 2 and is installed to the interior socket unit 6 of base unit.
In the accompanying drawings, in each installation site of socket unit 6, bus is configured to limit the part of Polygonal Boundary, and in other words, bus is made of end to end some straightways.Preferably, the angle of bus adjacent segment is constant, and the shared identical adjacent segment angle of adjacent bus, has enough symmetry like this, thereby can be connected to bus easily by socket unit under some orientations.More preferably, each of bus section all has identical length, and has constant spacing between the straightway of bus.In each installation site, bus can both limit any polygonal part, but polygonal at least two sides must have the width that enough length is admitted connector 7.The connector of Fig. 2 is an elastic metallic socket folder, yet can adopt any suitable being used to provide to the jockey of the electrical connection of bus.Advantageously, connector makes socket unit to be remained on replaceably on the bus, thereby need not other the device that socket unit is remained on correct position, can be in identical installation site or in different installation sites and take off and change socket unit under the different orientations.
The polygonal shape of being delineated by bus that the path limited needs not be regular (for example, having the side of equal length), yet this is preferred, has the orientation of maximum quantity because this makes for given polygon.The utility model makes each socket unit 6 all can be installed on the bus about being approximately perpendicular under at least two angular orientation of axis (" rotation ") that base portion limits the plane.Usually, bus limits with base portion and limits identical plane, plane or the plane that is adjacent.This realizes in the following manner, that is, the vertical range of polygonal at least two sides that will limit from rotation to specific bus is arranged to equal from this rotation to the distance corresponding to the specific clip of the socket unit of this bus.In order to make each clip all be connected to its corresponding bus under at least two angular orientation of socket unit, this condition must be set up concerning each bus simultaneously.If the regular polygon that the center that is shaped as that bus limits in each installation site overlaps with rotation, then the polygonal all sides of bus qualification has just satisfied this condition basically.
Optionally, in each installation site, bus can limit the part of circumference.In this embodiment, jockey 7 is suitable for being complementary with the radius of curvature of circle, and perhaps its size with respect to the radius of curvature of circle is fully little, thereby can form good electrical connection (and preferably favorable mechanical connects).If every bus limits the part of circumference, then above-mentioned condition becomes: the center of each circle must overlap with the rotation of socket unit.
It should be noted that the shape outside limiting polygonal segment and partly to justify by bus, as long as these parts of bus are positioned to allow socket unit to connect under at least two orientations.
Between the installation site, bus can be Any shape, also need not to keep constant spacing.
For socket unit can be installed in the base unit of socket box under all orientations of socket unit with flushing, the base unit part of socket unit and Qi Nei mounting receptacle unit should have and the compatible rotational symmetry to a certain degree of polygonal shape that is limited by bus.For example, in Fig. 3, socket unit is circular, and the opening in the top 5 of socket box is also rounded.This make socket unit can with bus be provided with all orientations of being allowed flush ground (that is, very close to each other between socket unit and top) be installed in the base unit.The opening at socket unit and top 5 can have the polygonal shape identical with shape of generatrix (in the example of Fig. 3 for octagon) jointly, thereby socket unit is engaged in the top 5 under it can be installed in each orientation on the bus with flushing.
In a preferred embodiment, when being installed in socket unit on the bus, socket unit can be the center of the axis of at least two angular orientation by socket unit about it.This execution mode is shown in the drawings, and in the above in addition description.Yet, the center that socket unit can depart from socket unit about its axis that is at least two angular orientation, the center of socket unit is positioned at different positions according to the orientation of socket like this.Such advantage is less, because that part that the opening that is used for socket unit in the top must extend through opening greater than being close to of socket unit, so that socket unit can be rendered as different orientation.
Except socket unit being arranged to be installed in the situation in the base unit with flushing, each socket unit also can be provided with the flange of the horizontal latitude of emulsion greater than the socket unit main body, makes the big opening that must be enough to cover under all orientations of socket unit in the top 5 of this flange.The socket unit main body is sized to make it can be rendered as each orientation that wherein socket unit can be installed on the bus.Flange can be arranged in the base unit or extend above the outer surface at top 5, to cover the opening in the top.If socket unit can be rendered as the center of the axis runout socket unit of at least two angular orientation about it, be particularly advantageous then for socket unit is provided with flange.Optionally, can adopt the latent part of screening to be inserted in the opening that socket unit is stayed at the socket box top when an orientation moves to another orientation.
In a preferred embodiment, base unit and socket unit support the member be suitable for being engaged with each other and form mechanical bond between base unit and socket unit.Suitable member comprises projection, spine and groove.As specific embodiment, one or more keys that can make the one or more grooves that in base unit, provide or wall be suitable for the receiving socket unit.Optionally, the simple butt between base unit that can be by suitable shaping and the one or more matching surfaces of socket unit provides mechanical bond.Member or abutment surface (" guiding device ") preferably are arranged to only allow socket unit to combine with base unit under such orientation, that is, its connector is positioned properly with bus and mates under this orientation.And guiding device can be configured to guarantee that socket unit only can be inserted in the base unit along the specific direction that guiding device limits.This can help to prevent the damage to connector.
The corresponding bonding part that guiding device is provided and is positioned on the socket unit is favourable aspect some.At first, it helps the user that socket unit is positioned under wherein a kind of possible orientation, and the connector of socket unit and bus correctly align under this orientation.The second, guiding device provides the mechanical engagement of socket unit and base unit, thereby has strengthened socket box, and makes the power that acts on the socket unit can be passed to base unit.Can act on the power on the socket unit during this guiding device has been resisted effectively and used, and prevent that connector from bearing such power separately.Preferably, guiding device be positioned to the socket unit periphery on protrusion engagement because this provides better opposing to the twisting resistance that acts on the socket unit.
By similar mode, the guiding device that is suitable for matching with member or receptacle face can be arranged on the top.Particularly, the shape of top inner opening can be suitable for one or more surfaces of butt socket unit, thereby prevent that socket unit from rotating in socket box, and help socket unit is alignd in socket box: for example, opening in socket unit and the top can have a polygonal shape jointly, and the two only mates together when polygon correctly aligns like this.
If base unit and socket unit are made by the injection moulding of suitable plastic, then can provide the corresponding bonding part on guiding piece and the socket unit especially easily.
Be not that all socket unit connectors all need connect at the corresponding point position on the adjacent bus.For example, socket unit connector shown in Figure 2 interlocks, and like this, compares with other two connectors, the given angle that is in about its axis at socket unit is orientated following time, and one of them connector is connected to the polygonal difference " side " that is limited by bus.
The connector of socket unit can be arranged in the polygonal bight connection that bus limits.Bight shape connector is effective especially along the transverse movement of bus for opposing, and the good mechanical combination to base unit is provided.
Fig. 3 shows related step in assembling according to socket box of the present utility model.This accompanying drawing shows from top to bottom by desirable orientation one group of socket unit 6 is clipped on the bus 2.Top 5 with socket box is attached on the base portion 1 of socket box then.The effect that socket unit is remained on correct position has been played at this top, thereby and can comprise and be used for engaging with socket unit the device that prevents that socket unit from rotating in socket box, and between the building block of socket box, form strong mechanical connection.Advantageously, the top can engage with base portion with unloading, thereby described two parts of socket box can separate and reconnect when needed.Preferably, the top is engaged in the bottom by spring clip.Optionally, can pass through suitable fixture, for example described two parts of screw or nuts and bolt gang socket box.
Traditionally, the housing of electrical socket box is by plastic shaping.In such execution mode, advantageously, base portion, top and socket unit all can form in independent forming step.Be well known that in the forming process of socket box housing, to form clip, guiding device etc., make that each parts all is single of moulding plastics.
Each socket unit all is independently, and has common connector setting, is attached on the bus and from bus and takes off thereby can be used as a body unit.Particularly advantageous is that socket unit is independently in housing, can easily handle socket unit because this makes, and protects the electric parts of socket not to be subjected to user's influence, also protects the user not to be subjected to the influence of the electric parts of socket.Housing has the connector that is used to be connected to bus.Have detachable lower connector by the providing socket unit of (such as above-described metal consent folder etc.), socket unit can be connected to bus and disconnect from bus, and need not the building block of socket unit is routed in the socket box.Have the separate modular socket unit that common connector is provided with by providing, can easily one type socket unit be replaced by the socket unit of another type.
