Patent number: 11828481Abstract: A building controller may include a housing having a back plate and a mounting clip, which may be slidably disposed relative to the back plate between a wall mount position used when mounting the building controller to the wall, and a DIN rail mount position used when mounting the building controller to a DIN rail. When in the wall mount position, the mounting clip and the back plate may be configured to hold the mounting clip in the wall mount position until at least a first threshold sliding force is applied to the mounting clip. When in the DIN rail mount position, the mounting clip and the back plate are configured to hold the mounting clip in the DIN rail mount position until at least a second threshold sliding force is applied to the mounting clip.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL, INC.Inventors: Xinyan Zheng, Michael Zheng, Hang Su, Haitao Li, Li Chen, Kun Wang, Cary Leen

Publication number: 20220344919Abstract: An adaptor plate includes a front plate that is configured to span across at least a portion of a front of an electrical junction box and includes one or more adaptor plate mounting features configured to align with corresponding mounting features of the electrical junction box. A DIN rail engagement portion extends backward from the front plate (and into the junction box) and is configured to fit at least partially into an elongated DIN rail mounting recess of a DIN rail device. In some cases, a first mounting slot is disposed within a first side of the DIN rail engagement portion for receiving a first mounting latch of the DIN rail device, and a second mounting slot is disposed within a second side of the DIN rail engagement portion for receiving a second mounting latch of the DIN rail device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2019Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Xinyan ZHENG, Haitao LI, Wei CHEN, Xuewei LIU, Bhavesh GUPTA
