Abstract
An electrical switch panel including a front cover, an inner housing and an electrical switch designed as a separate modular structure with conductive pins at the back of the module. The inner housing has conductive receiving terminals whereby the conductive pins of the electrical switch module are inserted into the terminals from the front to form an electrical connection with the power line. When there is a fault or replacement, it is not necessary to disassemble the whole switch panel. The inner housing is not required to be dismantled, only the front cover has to be removed. Figure 4
Description
The innovation relates to an electrical switch panel designed with a switch module having conductive pins at the back and the inner housing having the conductive receiving terminals to form an electrical connection with the power line.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Generally speaking, a large number of switch panels are installed in buildings during renovation to facilitate power and dimming adjustment controls of lighting appliances. Nowadays, switches in the market are mainly monolithic panel structures which means the switch circuitry is integrated into the switch panel. Thus when the need arises to replace the switch, the entire switch panel must be removed, which causes inconvenience in installation and maintenance. Also, the replacement process is costly and time consuming.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The purpose of the invention is to overcome the above disadvantages of the prior art and to provide a switch panel, whereby the electrical switch module can be easily fitted into the inner housing, without the need for electricians, thus saving time and labour.
The object of the invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions: a switch panel comprises a modular electrical switch with conductive pins at the back, and an inner housing with corresponding receiving terminals. The switch circuitry is set in the switch module with the switch button forming an input interface for the switch circuitry.

The switch module is inserted into the inner housing from the front, in which the guide bars at the sides of the switch module slide into the guiding channels of the inner housing. The conductive pins of the switch module are inserted into the receiving terminal of the inner housing, whereby the receiving terminals are provided with conductive clips, thus forming the electrical connection from the switch module to the power line.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The present technology is further described below.
The embodiment designs the electrical switch panel into a modular structure, including a main panel 1 and functional switch 2. The front cover 1A is mounted onto the inner housing 1B, and the inner housing 1B is fixed by screws on to the wall.
The switch module 4 is an independent modular structure which is provided with conductive pins 5. The switch module 4 is inserted from the front of the inner housing 1B whereby the conductive pins of the switch module are inserted into the receiving terminals 6. The receiving terminals 6 are provided with conductive clips that are electrically connected to the conductive pins 5. The receiving terminals 6 of the embodiment are conductive clips, whereby the conductive pins 5 are inserted into the conductive clips, at the rear end of the inner housing 3. The terminal block 7 is responsible for connecting to the power line.
The insides of inner housing 3 are designed with channel guides 8, correspondingly on the sides of the switch module 4 are designed with guide bars 9 whereby the guide bars 9 are inserted into the channel guides 8. The switch module 4 is inserted into the inner housing 3 by sliding into the channel guides 8 with its corresponding guide bars.
When there is a fault or replacement, it is not necessary to disassemble the whole switch panel. The inner housing 1B is not required to be dismantled, only the front cover 1A has to be removed. The front cover 1A is designed to snap on to the inner housing 3, and can be simply removed by pulling it by hand. After removing the front cover 1A, the switch module 4 can be pulled out from the front of the inner housing 3, and disengaged from receiving terminals 6 in which conductive pins 5 are pulled out of the conductive clips.
2019100956 26 Aug 2019
When replacing the new switch module 4, the switch module 4 is directly inserted from the front of the inner housing 3 and then into the receiving terminals 6. The sides of the inner housing 3 has channel guides 8 which allows the switch module to slide into the inner housing with its corresponding guide bars 9.
When the switch module has been inserted into the inner housing, the conductive pins 5 will contact the conductive clips of the receiving terminals 6. These in turn will be connected to the power and the load of the electrical switch. The front cover is then snapped onto the inner housing 3 and the replacement is completed.
It should be noted that the switch module described in this technical solution can be embodied in the form of dimmers, sensors, cameras, displays, thermostats, etc.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any form.
It is possible for anyone familiar or skilled in this field of invention to make changes to the present invention by using the methods and technical contents disclosed above or modify them to be equivalent.
As such, the modified equivalent made according to the shape, structure and principle of the present invention should adhere to the scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
