Description

  The present invention relates to an improved structure of a switch cover, and more particularly, to a switch cover that combines auxiliary lighting and button switch cover plates of various designs.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional button switch and its cover plate have a structure in which at least one button switch 41 is provided at a predetermined position on the switch mounting frame 42, and the switch mounting frame 42 (with a screw) is provided. ) A switch cover plate 43 fixed to the outside of the wiring box on the wall surface and having a switch insertion hole 431 at the center is fitted on the switch mounting frame 42, whereby the button switch 41 is exposed to the outside and at the same time the periphery thereof Is shielded. In order to display the position of the button switch 41 in a place where light is insufficient or in a dark environment, a relatively advanced button switch structure is provided with a separate display light source 411 on the button switch 41. Some switches emit a light beam when the power is turned off so that the user can check the position of the button switch 41 in a light-deficient or dark environment. An aesthetic effect can also be obtained on the premise of practicality.

However, the structure of the conventional button switch and its cover plate as described above has the following drawbacks in actual application.
1. The conventional display light source 411 has a very fine light beam and can only indicate the position of the button switch 41, and can display the peripheral portion of the button switch 41 (and thus the entire switch). In addition, each user has to go around the button switch 41 and the switch cover plate 43 in a place where light rays are insufficient or in a dark environment, and the wall around the switch cover plate 43 is touched. It often gets dirty and greatly affects visual aesthetics.
2. The function of the conventional button switch is limited only to the power on / off switching function, and there are no other additional devices. The application function is limited and it is difficult to improve the competitiveness of the product.
3. In order to match the shape of the wiring box in the wall, most of the conventional button switches are designed to have a (long) rectangular shape, and the shape of the switch cover plate 43 hardly changes, improving the competitiveness of the product. Hard to do.

  In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks in the structure of the conventional button switch and its cover plate, the present invention was born to improve these drawbacks.

  The main purpose of the present invention is to automatically form local lighting with appropriate brightness in the entire switch and in the peripheral part in places where light is insufficient or in a dark environment. It is an object of the present invention to provide a switch cover that can be confirmed and that can prevent the wall from being soiled by the user touching it unnecessarily.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a switch cover that has the function of a night lamp and can be used for local lighting in places where light is insufficient or in a dark environment, and effectively enhances its application changes. There is to do.

  Still another object of the present invention is to provide a switch cover that can be designed in various shapes in its overall appearance, can be changed in design, and improve the competitiveness of the product.

  In order to achieve the above-described objects and effects, the technical means employed by the present invention includes an enclosure seat, a cover plate, and a control circuit, and the enclosure seat is located at the periphery of the button switch position on the wall surface. Fixed, equipped with a wiring hole corresponding to the wiring box in the center, can extend the power wire and control wire to the outside and connect to the button switch, the cover plate is fixed over the enclosure seat The control circuit is installed between the enclosure seat and the cover plate, and receives the detection result of the external light beam by an optical sensor. A plurality of light source bodies installed at the periphery of the wiring hole are driven to emit light, and local illumination is automatically formed in a place where light rays are insufficient or in a dark environment.

  In order to promote a complete understanding of the detailed structure, application principle, operation, and effect of the present invention, the following description will be made with reference to the drawings.

  Since the main configuration and its drawbacks in the structure of the conventional button switch and its cover plate shown in FIG. 1 have already been described, description thereof will be omitted here.

A wiring hole 11 corresponding to a wiring box installed in the wall is opened in the center of the enclosure seat 1, and the power supply wire and the control wire in the wiring box can be extended to the outside. 11 is provided with a fixed seat portion 12 having a plurality of screw holes 121, and a plurality of fixing screws 421 are inserted into the switch mounting frame 42 of the switch device 4, and then screwed into the screw holes 121. Can be fixed in front of the wiring hole 11. At least one button switch 41 is provided on the switch mounting frame 42, electrically connected to the power supply wire and the control wire, and a switch cover plate 43 having a switch insertion hole 431 in the center is provided as the switch The button switch 41 is covered in front of the mounting frame 42 and exposed to the outside from the switch insertion hole 431. The control circuit 2 is installed near the wiring hole 11 of the enclosure seat 1, and an optical sensor 21 capable of sensing external light rays is provided on the control circuit 2, and the output end of the control circuit 2 has a plurality of light source bodies 22. (Which can be a light emitting diode (LED)) to control these light source bodies 22, and the plurality of light source bodies 22 are arranged on the periphery of the surrounding seat body 1 through an inner support frame 221. It is fixed inside the wall. Further, the change-over switch 23 is installed at the outer edge of the enclosure seat 1 so that the control circuit 2 can be powered off. The cover plate 3 is provided with a switch panel insertion hole 31 in the center, and a through hole 32 corresponding to the optical sensor 21 of the control circuit 2 is formed near the switch panel insertion hole 31, and the outer peripheral edge of the cover plate 3. A plurality of flanges 33 are installed, the flanges 33 are fitted into the positioning holes 13 around the periphery of the surrounding seat body 1 to connect the cover plate 3 and the surrounding seat body 1, and the switch of the switch device 4 The cover plate 43 can be exposed to the outside from the switch panel insertion hole 31.

  FIG. 5 shows an implementation state of the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in this figure, in use, the optical sensor 21 of the control circuit 2 senses an external light beam through the through hole 32 of the cover plate 3, and the outside of the cover plate 3 is in a place where the light beam is insufficient or in a dark environment. When the control circuit 2 is below, the control circuit 2 drives the plurality of light source bodies 22 to emit light, and at least light rays of the light source body 22 are diverged outwardly from the translucent wall surface 15 of the surrounding seat body 1, thereby The local illumination is automatically formed on the periphery of the enclosure seat 1, the user can confirm the position of the button switch 41, and the wall surface can be prevented from being soiled by the user touching it unnecessarily.

  The cover plate 3 of the present invention can be made of a general non-light-transmitting material, and is also made of a light-transmitting material, and the whole has light-transmitting properties (transparency, frost, etc.). The light generated by the body 22 is softly diverged toward the outside, and in addition to the effects of basic local lighting, it may be used as decorative lighting or nighttime lamps with aesthetics and decorativeness, and can be applied to a wide range of applications. it can. When no illumination light is required, the control circuit 2 can be turned off by the changeover switch 23 so that the light source body 22 cannot emit light.
