Description

Concent Box For Fixing On The Panel}

The present invention relates to an outlet box, and more specifically, to an outlet box for panel installation that is fixedly installed on furniture or a wall panel, has an airtight structure, and prevents damage to the panel.

Conventionally, outlet boxes were generally installed buried in a wall. However, recently, outlet boxes are being installed not only in the lightweight panels that make up walls and ceilings, but also in furniture such as beds, desks, built-in closets, and sinks. This is because a wide variety of electrical appliances are used in various areas of our lives, and thus the installation locations for outlet boxes have also become more diverse.

The present invention particularly relates to an outlet box that is fixedly installed on various panels. There must be an intermediate medium to fix the outlet box to the panel. If you directly use screws to fix the panel to the panel, not only does it not look good, but if the panel is made of gypsum board, its strength becomes particularly weak and it is easy to break. Additionally, it is undesirable from the user's perspective because a hole must be made in the panel.

Meanwhile, when installing an outlet box inside a panel, if foreign substances such as insects, moisture, or dust enter the outlet box from the space behind the panel, electrical problems such as short circuits may occur.

Hereinafter, the specific content of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached FIGS. 1 to 8. However, where necessary, specific drawings will be cited further.

The outlet box for panel installation (1. hereinafter, simply referred to as 'outlet box') according to the present invention is installed on the panel 100 of a wall or furniture. The panel 100 is provided with a hole 101 for installing an outlet. After installing the outlet box (1), the outlet is assembled here.

The outlet box (1) basically includes a box body (3), a stopper plate (5), a fixing table (7), a moving table (9), a pressure plate (11), and a guide means.

The box body (3) provides an installation space (S) for inserting an outlet inside, and is composed of one bottom plate (13) and four side plates (15). The box body 3 is generally rectangular in plan shape, but may also be square. Hereinafter, in order to distinguish the side plate 15, it will be divided into a pair of short side plates 17 and 17' and a pair of long side plates 19 and 19'.

A stopper plate (5) is installed to extend outward at the top of the side plate (15) of the box body. The stopper plate (5) is integrated with the box body (3). The stopper plate 5 is supported on the front surface 100a of the panel 100 to be installed (see FIGS. 6 to 8).

The fixing stand (7) is formed to protrude into the installation space of the box body (3) at a mid-height of the side plate, especially the end plate (17.17'). The fixture 7 is provided with a through hole 21 having a diameter through which only the spiral portion of the screw W can penetrate.

Meanwhile, the moving stand (9) is movably installed inside the side plate (15) of the box body so as to face the fixing stand (7). The movable stand 9 is installed to slide along the surface direction (particularly the vertical direction) of the side plates, especially the end side plates 17 and 17', so that the distance from the fixed stand 7 can be adjusted (see FIG. 8). The mobile table 9 is provided with a tapped hole 23 into which the screw W passing through the through hole 21 can be fastened. The tap hole 23 has rigidity due to an insert member made of metal inserted into the moving table 9.

In addition, the pressure plate 11 is installed on the outside of the side plate 15 of the box body 3 so that it is connected to the moving table 9 and slides with it. The pressure plate 11 and the moving table 9 may be formed as one piece or may be assembled into one body. As shown in FIG. 8, the pressure plate 11 presses the back side 100b of the panel and serves to fix the box body 3 to the panel 100 together with the stopper plate 5.

According to this configuration, as shown in FIG. 8, when the screw (W) is inserted into the through hole 21 of the fixture and then fastened to the tap hole 23 and tightened in the fastening direction, the movable table 9 is moved according to the principle of the screw. It approaches the fixing table 7, and through this process, the pressure plate 11 and the stopper plate 5 press the panel 100 back and forth.

Additionally, a guide means is required to guide the movement of the mobile unit (9). The guide means includes a first guide means provided on the box body (3) so that the moving table (9) and the pressure plate (11) can be moved along the surface direction of the side plate (15).

The first guide means includes a first guide groove (25), a first rail (27), and an insert piece (29).

The first guide groove (25) provides a passage through which the connection portion of the moving table (9) and the pressure plate (11) passes, and is attached to the side plate, especially the short side plates (17, 17'). "It is prepared in the shape of.

The first rail 27 is provided on the inner surface of the side plate, especially the long side plate 19 and 19', and is used to guide the moving platform 9. The insertion piece 29 is moved while being inserted into the first rail 27, and protrudes in both directions from the connection portion between the moving table 9 and the pressure plate 11.

And the pressure plate 11 is provided with an installation plate through-hole 31. The installation plate through-hole 31 is provided in the middle of the first guide groove 25 and is a long hole that allows the fixture installation plate 33, which forms part of the single side plates 17 and 17', to pass through.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a shielding plate 35 capable of covering the first guide groove 25 is installed between the mobile platform 9 and the pressure plate 11. The shield plate 35 slides together with the moving table 9 while being pressed against the inner surface of the side plate of the box body 3. As shown in FIG. 5, the shielding plate 35 blocks the first guide groove 25, thereby shielding the box body 3 and preventing the inflow of foreign substances.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, a second guide means is provided to allow the pressure plate 11 to be introduced into the box body 3, as shown in FIG. 6.

The second guide means includes a second rail 37 provided at a right angle to the first rail 27 in the middle of the side plates, particularly the long side plates 19 and 19'. The insert piece 29 described above can be moved along the second rail 37. As a result, the pressure plate 11 and the moving table 9 connected thereto can be introduced into the interior of the box body 3 while moving along the second rail 37. This is to allow the box body 3 to be easily inserted into the hole in the panel as the pressure plate 11 is inserted into the box body 3 (see Figure 6).

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second guide means may be provided at only one of the two pressure plates 11. This is because even if it is installed in only one place, it can be inserted into a hole in the panel.

In addition, the shielding plate 35 has a second guide groove 39 to guide the fixture 7 while passing through it. It is provided in the form of ". And guide protrusions 41 are provided on the left and right sides of the fixture 7 to guide the shielding plate 35 so that the shielding plate 35 slides without being separated from the end plates 17 and 17'. do.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the box body 3 may be provided in a prefabricated manner as shown in FIG. 2.

That is, the box body 3 may be composed of a lower box 43 and an upper box 45. This is to make it easy to assemble the moving stand (9) to the box body (3).

As shown in FIG. 2, four hooks 47 may be protruding from the top of the side wall of the lower box 43, and a locking protrusion (47) to which the hooks 47 are coupled is provided at the corresponding position on the side wall of the upper box 45. 49) is prepared. When the lower box 43 and the upper box 45 are disassembled, the lower end of the first guide groove 25 becomes open, and when combined, the first guide groove 25 takes the form of an intact closed curve.

The configuration shown and described above is nothing more than a preferred embodiment based on the technical idea of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various changes based on common technical knowledge, but it should be noted that these may be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. The embodiments disclosed above may be combined in various ways, and all possible combinations are within the scope of the present invention.
