Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a wire clamping structure for a weld-free interlocking assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Terminal blocks are accessories used to achieve electrical connections. They bridge gaps in circuits or between isolated circuits, allowing current to flow and enabling the circuit to perform its intended function. They are widely used in lighting, elevator control, instrumentation, and power supplies. The wire clamping structure, used to mate with wires in a terminal block assembly, is a key component, serving to connect and fix the wires and transmit current and signals.

[0003] In existing technologies, some wire clamping structures connect and fix the conductor to the clamping spring by welding. The drawbacks of this structure are twofold: firstly, it requires specialized welding equipment and tooling fixtures for production, resulting in significant investment and low production capacity, making it difficult to reduce product costs; secondly, the welding process generates harmful fumes, posing a risk to human health and failing to meet environmental regulations. Therefore, there is a need to develop a novel, weld-free, interlocking wire clamping structure to reduce costs and enhance market competitiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a welding-free interlocking assembly wire clamping structure, which solves the problem in the prior art where the wire clamping structure connects and fixes the conductor to the wire clamping spring by welding.

[0005] The above-mentioned objective of the present invention is achieved by the following solution:

[0006] A wire clamping structure for interlocking assembly without welding includes a wire clamping spring (100) and a conductor (200). The bottom of the wire clamping spring (100) is provided with an I-shaped through groove (103), and a limiting wing (101) and (102) are symmetrically provided on both sides. The wire clamping spring (100) is provided with a suitable arc bending acute angle (104) and two suitable arc bending obtuse angles (105) and (106). The conductor (200) has a Z-shaped bend (203) at its rear end to limit the upward tilting of the clamping spring (100); the conductor (200) has an upward 90° short side bend (210) at its left end, and a mounting positioning hole (201) is opened in the middle of the root of the short side bend (210) to be paired with the limiting wing (101) of the clamping spring (100); at the right end there is an upward 90° long side bend (220) and a 90° transverse bend (230); a mounting positioning hole (202) is opened in the middle of the root of the long side bend (220) to be paired with the limiting wing (102) of the clamping spring (100); a downward limiting rib (205) is opened at a suitable position on the transverse bend (230) to limit the top (107) of the clamping spring (100).

[0007] The assembly method of this invention is as follows:

[0008] Press the top of the clamping spring (100) downwards by 2mm, press Figure 7 The conductor (200) is pushed from back to front along its bottom upper surface, causing the two bottom limiting protrusions (101) and (102) to engage with the two mounting positioning holes (201) and (202) of the conductor (200). The clamping spring (100) is then released, and its top (107) engages with the limiting rib (205) in the transverse bend (230) of the conductor (200), completing the assembly. The wire clamping spring (100) and the conductor (200) are interlocked and fixed after assembly due to their unique structure, achieving the positioning of the wire clamping spring (100) in the up, down, left, and right directions.

[0009] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0010] The rivetless interlocking wire clamping structure is installed in a plastic housing. A push rod installed inside the housing pushes down the top of the wire clamping spring (100), separating the top of the spring (100) from the limiting rib (205) in the transverse bend (230) of the conductor (200) to a suitable position. The wire is then inserted between the conductor (200) and the wire clamping spring (100). Releasing the push rod causes the spring (100) to return to its original position, clamping and fixing the wire. This wire clamping structure provides a reliable connection to the wire, with a wire holding or pulling force exceeding 80N, meeting international standard requirements.

[0011] The welding-free interlocking assembly wire clamping structure of the present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art. It adopts a new structure and is connected and fixed by an original interlocking assembly structure of wire clamping springs and conductors. No additional welding connection and fixation is required, which greatly reduces costs and labor time and improves market competitiveness. Attached Figure Description
