The upper ends of the first leg 17 and the second leg 18 are connected by the connecting portion 19. A pressing portion 20 is provided on the side of the second leg 18.

[0065] The spring piece 10 is installed in the spring piece installation position 13, and one end of the spring piece 10 is located in the clamping groove 14. The first leg 17 and the second leg 18 of the knife 8 cooperate with the slide groove 15. The clamping portion 20 of the knife 8 is located in the clamping groove 14 and pressed on the spring piece 10. After the cover plate 7 and the spring piece mounting seat 9 are engaged through the undercut 16 and the undercut slot 11, the clamping protrusion 12 arranged on the cover plate 7 extends into the clamping groove 14 and is tightly pressed on the clamping portion 20 of the knife 8; the first leg 17 and the second leg 18 of the knife 8 are engaged with the conductive sheet 5 through a snap structure.

[0066] The cover plate 7, the knife 8, the spring clip mounting seat 9 and the spring clip 10 are connected to form a clamping component 3. After the spring clip 10 is installed in the mounting groove of the spring clip 10, the spring clip 10 is clamped by the clamping part 20 arranged on the knife 8, and then the cover plate 7 and the spring clip 10 are installed and engaged, so that the clamping protrusion 12 arranged on the cover plate 7 is pressed on the clamping part 20 of the knife 8, thereby fixing the spring clip 10 and the knife 8; during assembly, the speed is faster, which can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of the workers.

[0069] In actual use, only one spring sheet 10 may be provided.

[0070] The provided slide groove 15 can make the knife switch 8 more convenient during installation. The first leg 17 and the second leg 18 can slide along the slide groove 15. The slide groove 15 can not only play a guiding role, but also hide the first leg 17 and the second leg 18, so that the knife switch 8 and the spring clip mounting seat 9 can better form an integrated structure after being connected.

[0071] For further optimization, a guide column 23 is provided on the cover plate 7, a guide hole 24 is provided on the spring clip mounting seat 9, and the guide hole 24 is provided with a chamfer; in this way, it is more convenient when the cover plate 7 and the spring clip mounting seat 9 are buckled with each other, and the guide column 23 and the guide hole 24 can play a better guiding role.

[0072] Further optimization is performed by providing a rotating shaft 25 on the shrapnel mounting seat 9, providing a mounting hole 27 on the base 4, and providing a mounting groove 26 on the base 4 above the mounting hole 27. The rotating shaft 25 provided on the shrapnel mounting seat 9 can slide down along the mounting groove 26 and cooperate with the mounting hole 27.

[0074] Among them, guide blocks 28 are arranged on the two side walls of the mounting position 6, the guide blocks 28 and the bottom surface of the mounting position 6 form a slideway 29, and a through groove 30 is arranged on the front side wall of the mounting position 6; the conductive sheet 5 includes protrusions 31 arranged on both sides, the front end of the protrusion 31 forms a front end surface 32, and the upper end of the protrusion 31 forms an upper end surface 33; after the conductive sheet 5 slides along the slideway 29, the end of the conductive sheet 5 can pass through the through groove 30 and extend out of the base 4, the front end surface 32 of the protrusion 31 contacts the front side wall of the mounting position 6, and the upper end surface 33 of the protrusion 31 contacts the lower end of the guide block 28.

[0075] In this way, by forming a slideway 29 with the bottom surface of the installation position 6 through the set guide block 28, when installing the conductive sheet, the upper end surface 33 of the protrusion 31 on the conductive sheet 5 can contact with the lower end surface of the guide block 28 to ensure the installation of the conductive sheet 5. At the same time, the front end of the protrusion 31 forms a front end surface 32 which contacts the front side wall of the installation position 6 to limit the conductive sheet 5.

After the spring clip mounting seat 9 is rotated, the knife boss 37 can cooperate with the upper part of the disengagement button accommodating groove 36.

[0077] In this way, in actual use, after rotating the spring clip mounting seat 9, the knife boss 37 on the first leg 17 and the second leg 18 of the knife 8 will contact the extension portion 34 provided on the conductive sheet 5, and under the action of the first guide slope 38 and the second guide slope 35, the first leg 17 and the second leg 18 are opened to both sides, so that the knife boss 37 on the first leg 17 and the second leg 18 cooperate with the upper part of the disengagement button accommodating groove 36, so as to realize the snap connection between the knife 8 and the conductive sheet 5; it is more convenient when tightening the power cable 1.

[0078] Embodiment 2

[0079] This embodiment is further optimized on the basis of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the base component 2 also includes a disengagement button 39, a first groove 40 is arranged at the lower end of the base 4, and a second groove 41 is arranged at the bottom of the mounting position 6. The first groove 40 and the second groove 41 are connected to each other to form a stepped groove, and the stepped groove is a disengagement button mounting groove 42. The disengagement button 39 is installed in the disengagement button mounting groove 42. The disengagement button 39 is provided with an anti-disengagement protrusion 43, and a first inclined surface 44 is arranged on the anti-disengagement protrusion 43, and a second inclined surface 45 is arranged on the first leg 17 and the second leg 18.

[0080] The disengagement button 39 can facilitate the disconnection of the present invention when in use, and it is easier to remove the power cable 1 after the cable is fixed, thereby achieving the purpose of reuse.

[0081] Since the first groove 40 is connected to the second groove 41 to form a disengagement button installation groove 42, the end of the anti-disengagement protrusion 43 arranged on the disengagement button 39 contacts the end surface formed at the connection point between the first groove 40 and the second groove 41, which can prevent the disengagement button 39 from falling off.

[0082] When disassembly is required, one only needs to push the disengagement button 39 upwards. After the first inclined surface 44 on the anti-disengagement protrusion 43 contacts the second inclined surface 45 on the first leg 17 and the second leg 18, the first leg 17 and the second leg 18 will be opened to both sides during the rising process of the disengagement button 39; then, the spring clip mounting seat 9 is rotated to disengage the spring clip 10 from the power cable to complete the disassembly; the process is simple and convenient, and can achieve the purpose of quick disassembly. At the same time, the connector itself will not be damaged during the disassembly process, thereby achieving the purpose of reuse, thereby saving resources and reducing costs.

[0085] In this way, after the conductive sheet 5 is slid into the slide groove 15 , the limiting portion 46 provided on the conductive sheet 5 can cooperate with the limiting groove 47 to further fix the conductive sheet 5 .

[0086] After the power cable 1 is connected in the present invention, the spring clip 10 presses on the power cable 1 and applies an upward force to the spring clip mounting seat 9. Under the action of this force, the knife boss 37 on the first leg 17 and the second leg 18 applies a pulling force to the upper part of the disengagement button accommodating groove 36, so that the protrusion 31 on the conductive sheet 5 acts on the guide block 28 provided on the base 4, thereby forming a stable force system structure, ensuring that the structure of the present invention is more stable.

After continuing to rotate the clamping component 3, the knife boss 37 of the first leg 17 and the second leg 18 cooperates with the upper part of the disengagement button accommodating groove 36 on the conductive sheet 5, so that the spring sheet 10 is tightly pressed on the power cable 1.

[0106] The pressing component 3 is rotated counterclockwise by 167°. At this time, the spring sheet 10 just contacts the power cable 1. This prevents the cutting edge of the spring sheet from biting the power cable, thereby smoothly pressing the power cable.

[0107] In this way, the connection of the power cable 1 can be achieved, which has the advantage of being more convenient to use.

[0108] The disconnection method, that is, the disassembly method, is further described below; the disconnection method of the power cable includes the following steps:

[0109] S401: Push the disengagement button 39 upward. After the disengagement button 39 moves upward, the first inclined surface 44 contacts the second inclined surface 45 provided on the first leg 17 and the second leg 18, and the first leg 17 and the second leg 18 open slightly to both sides, so that the gate boss 37 is disengaged from the disengagement button receiving groove 36;

[0110] S402: Rotate the pressing component 3 clockwise;

[0111] S403: Take out the power cable 1.

[0112] In this way, in the actual disassembly process, the disassembly can be completed without the aid of other disassembly tools, and the parts will not be damaged in the disassembly process, so that they can be reused and the purpose of saving resources can be achieved.
