Description
RING NETWORK SWITCH ASSEMBLY
The present invention relates to a type of power box assembly with an electric push button1 and in particular relates to a type of ring network switch assembly linked and tightly fastened by small clasps and catches.
Common power box assemblies currently available on the market are generally of a design where the outside of the switch assembly is hooked onto the base of its other part by means of long clasps. This makes maintenance and installation of each switch or the replacement of any switch inconvenient for the user. During installation or replacement, it must be ensured that all the long clasps are either hooked onto or released from the base of the other part of the assembly for the task to be completed. Furthermore, long clasps made of plastic break easily during the transportation or installation process, causing the assembly to be useless and leading to economic loss. If long clasps made of metal are used, the aforementioned problem is solved. However, as metal is stronger than plastic, the installation or removal process is more difficult for the user, leading to time being wasted.
In view of the aforementioned problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a type of power box assembly equipped with small clasps and catches which link and fasten. Using simple and small clasps and catches, the external push button and internal conduction devices are firmly fastened within the assembly and connected together. The ring network switch assembly is primarily a type of power box assembly, equipped with small clasps and catches for linking and fastening.
Using simple and small clasps and catches, the external push button and internal : *.., conduction devices are firmly fastened within the assembly and connected together. S... *e..

Figure 1 shows a front view schematic diagram of a ring network switch assembly according to a first embodiment of the invention. Figure 2 shows an exploded view of the ring network switch assembly 100 shown in Figure 1. This includes: an electric push button I at the top of the ring network switch assembly 100, a protruding lower push button mounting boss 10 at the base of the aforementioned electric push button 1, two electric push button base through-holes 11 (not shown) in the aforementioned lower mounting boss 10, two pressure spring components 2 : positioned in the aforementioned electric push button I base through- holes 11, a ring network switch box 6 at the base of ring network switch assembly 100, two box * connection clasps 60 on each of the two longitudinal sides of the aforementioned box 6, a relatively long box lock clasp 61 to the left and to the right of the centre, * namely on each of the lateral sides, four circuit connection holes 63 at the bottom of the aforementioned box 6 body 62, two positive-negative pole connector fixing points :...: 64 in a central position inside the two lateral sides of the aforementioned box body 62, a ring network switch box cover 3 around the aforementioned electric push button I and positioned on the ring network switch box 6, two box cover connection catches 30 on each of the two longitudinal sides of the box cover 3, a box cover central through-hole 31 in the central section, a box cover lock catching groove 32 on the left and on the right lateral sides of the aforementioned central through-hole 31 and two circuit connectors 5 for circuit connection on the ring network switch box 6. Each circuit connector 5 is composed of a positive circuit pole 7, a negative circuit pole 9 and a positive-negative pole connector 8. The positive circuit pole 7 is positioned on the near left side circuit connection hole 63, while the negative circuit pole 9 is positioned on the near right side circuit connection hole 63. Finally, the positivenegative po'e connector 8 is positioned between the two positive-negative pole fixing points 64. A circuit connection lid 4 is positioned between the ring network switch box cover 3 and the ring network switch box 6. The body part 40 exactly covers a position above the circuit connector 5. There is a lower push button mounting boss hole 41 in a central position on the aforementioned lid body 40, which allows the lower push button mounting boss 10 to pass through and move. When the ring network switch assembly 100 is in the state as shown in Figure 1, the pressure spring components 2 at the base of the electric push button 1 are positioned in a direction extending from left to right (as shown in Figure 5), and their bottom parts push the positive-negative pole connector 8 into a rightward leaning position. When the user presses the electric push button I to the other side, the aforementioned pressure spring components 2 are positioned in a direction extending from right to left, and their bottom parts change to push the positive- negative pole connector 8 into a leftward leaning position. As the positive-negative pole connector 8 is installed and fixed between the two positive-negative pole connector fixing points 64, the central point of the positive-negative pole connector 8 forms a rocking axle, so that the aforementioned action causes the positive-negative pole connector 8 to change from its original position of leaning downwards to the right to a position of leaning downwards to the left, the left side and the right side of the positive-negative pole connector 8 to touch the positive circuit pole 7 and the *::::* negative circuit pole 9 respectively, thus connecting the circuit.
*.*. Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 are schematic diagrams of the assembly process of the electric push button I and the ring network switch box cover 3, as well as views of them at different angles after assembly. The electric push button 1 is placed into S.....
* the box cover central through-hole 31 from bottom to top. The aforementioned * *.* S. * .* electric push button I has a flexible push button knob 11 on both the left and right side which protrudes outwards in the shape of a water droplet, which fits exactly onto the longitudinal flexible push button groove 33 inside the box cover central through- hole 31. The upward pointing angle of the aforementioned groove 33 is larger than the upward pointing angle of the flexible push button knob 11, enabling the flexible push button knob 11 to swing laterally in the flexible push button groove 33 so that the electric push button 1 can be pressed down.
Figure 6 shows an assembly diagram of the ring network switch box 6 shown in Figure 2 and the components shown in Figure 4. The components shown in Figure 4 comprise the electric push button I and the ring network switch box cover 3. The aforementioned components are fitted onto the ring network switch box 6 from top to bottom. Firstly, the four box cover connecting catches 30 on the ring network switch box cover 3 are placed on top of the four corresponding box cover connecting clasps on the ring network switch box 6. Likewise, the two box cover lock catching grooves 32 are placed on top of the corresponding two box lock clasps 61. A small push is all that is needed to easily fasten the ring network switch box 6 and the ring network switch box cover 3. The box cover connection catches 30 are then concealed in the catch through-hole 65 in the box connection clasp 60. The clasp hooks 66 extending from the top of the box lock clasps 61 hook onto the catching groove platform 34 in the box cover lock catching groove 32 in a simple locking action. By simply placing two circuit connectors 5 inside, closing the circuit connection lid 4 and installing the pressure spring components 2 in the push button I base through-holes 11 prior to the aforementioned assembly process, the installation of the ring network switch assembly 100 is then complete.
Figure 7, Figure 8 and Figure 9 show a downward view of the ring network switch box 6 and the ring network switch box cover 3 after assembly and sectional views along the sections A-A and B-B of this diagram. After the ring network switch box 6 : .. and the ring network switch box cover 3 have been assembled, the box cover S..
connection catches 30 are then hidden in the catch through-hole 65 in the box connection clasp 60. The clasp hooks 66 extending from the top of the box lock *... clasps 61 hook onto the catching groove platform 34 in the box cover lock catching groove 32 in a fimple locking action. Figure 7 shows that, as the ring network switch assembly 100 no longer adopts the design of its prior art by refraining from using * * long clasps to hook onto the base of the other part, its longitudinal side is clear after *...
the ring network switch assembly 100 is assembled, meaning that during installation it does not easily hook or release on other objects. Figures 8 and 9 show that, as the ring network switch box assembly 100 also has an additional pair of box lock clasps 61 which are ingeniously placed close to the centre on the left and the right, even if the outside of the ring network switch assembly 100 is broken, the switch assembly 100 will not become loose causing a power failure or even a dangerous situation such as a leakage of electricity.
From the aforementioned structures it can be seen that as the ring network switch assembly 100 uses simple and small clasps 60 and catches 30, the external push button I and internal conduction devices 5 are easily and firmly fastened within the assembly 100 and connected together with a simple click. Not only does it enable the user installing the power box to more easily fasten the switch assembly 100, the fastening results are also better. This changes the previous switch assembly fastening method of a number of long clasps hooking onto the other part, enabling this ring network switch assembly to be installed more conveniently and to be more durable and safe.
Furthermore, numerous changes, such as the number of connecting clasps, connecting catches, lock catching grooves and lock catches, depending on the requirements may be resorted to.
