[0029] In the initial state, the other end of the elastic sheet 3 is close to the conductive contact surface 21 of the conductive terminal 2 under the action of its own elastic force, at this time, the other end of the elastic sheet 3 and the conductive contact surface 21 together form a wire conduction clamping structure, and the cam surface of the locking cam 5 is pressed by the elastic sheet 3, and the other end of the trigger unlocking arm 6 on the locking cam 5 just escapes from the wire insertion path of the wire 7 inserted into the wire cavity 11 through the wire insertion hole 12;

[0030] When the wire needs to be connected, the handle 4 drives the locking cam 5 to rotate first, the cam surface of the locking cam 5 drives the side wall of the elastic sheet 3 to deform, and then the other end of the elastic sheet 3 is displaced, when the locking cam 5 rotates to a set angle, the gap between the other end of the elastic sheet 3 and the conductive contact surface 21 of the conductive terminal 2 is greater than the diameter of the wire 7, at this time, the handle 4 can be reset to the original state to avoid the handle 4 being accidentally touched to collide with the locking cam 5 to cause the self-locking failure of the locking cam 5, at this time, the elastic sheet 3 is positioned by the locking cam 5 and cannot be reset, the wire 7 can be smoothly inserted into the wire cavity 11 through the wire insertion hole 12, when the wire 7 is inserted into the wire cavity 11 to a certain depth, the end of the wire 7 triggers the other end of the trigger unlocking arm 6 on the locking cam 5, the other end of the trigger unlocking arm 6 is reversed by the end of the wire 7, and then the locking cam 5 is synchronously reversed by a certain angle, the self-locking state of the locking cam 5 is broken, the cam surface of the locking cam 5 is pressed by the side wall of the elastic sheet 3 and automatically reverses to reset to the initial state, at this time, the other end of the elastic sheet 3 also gradually reaches the initial state, and the other end of the elastic sheet 3 and the conductive contact surface 21 again form a wire conduction clamping structure to tightly clamp the wire 7, and the wire 7 is electrically connected with the conductive terminal 2 to realize signal transmission;

[0031] When the wire needs to be disconnected, similarly, the handle 4 drives the locking cam 5 to rotate first to open the other end of the elastic sheet 3 and the conductive contact surface 21, and then the locking cam 5 is self-locked and positioned after rotating to a set angle, the other end of the elastic sheet 3 remains in the state of releasing the wire 7 and does not move, and the wire 7 can be pulled out;

[0032] The above terminal table wire connection structure is simple, can keep the other end of the elastic sheet 3 in the open state during wire connection and wire disconnection, can realize single-handed wire connection and wire disconnection operation, is convenient for wire connection and wire disconnection construction, and greatly improves the construction efficiency.

[0033] The trigger unlocking arm 6 is further provided with an avoidance gap structure opposite to the elastic sheet 3, and the other end of the elastic sheet 3 can extend into the wire insertion path of the wire 7 through the avoidance gap structure to form a wire conduction clamping structure with the conductive contact surface 21.

[0034] The trigger unlocking arm 6 is in L-shaped structure, one section of which is fixedly connected with the cam surface of one end of the locking cam 5 to form an integral structure, and the other section of which can extend into the wire 7 inlet path to form the trigger part 61 of the self-locking unlocking of the locking cam 5, and the space surrounded between the two sections of the trigger unlocking arm 6 forms the avoiding gap structure opposite to the elastic sheet 3. In addition, the trigger unlocking arm 6 can also be in U-shaped structure or other structures, as long as it can avoid the elastic sheet 3.

[0035] Two limiting stop structures are provided in the wire cavity 11 along the rotation direction of the locking cam 5, and the two side walls of the locking cam 5 are respectively stopped on the two limiting stop blocks to limit the rotation angle of the locking cam 5. When the locking cam 5 rotates to the set angle, the side wall thereof is in contact with one limiting stop block and cannot continue to move forward. When the locking cam 5 rotates to the other side wall thereof is in contact with the other limiting stop block and cannot continue to rotate reversely, the other end of the trigger unlocking arm 6 is completely separated from the wire 7 inlet path.

[0036] The two limiting stop blocks and the two side walls of the locking cam 5 are matched to block, so as to limit the rotation angle of the locking cam 5, prevent the locking cam 5 from rotating too large to cause the opening control failure of the elastic sheet 3. In addition to the limiting stop block blocking the two side walls of the locking cam 5 to limit the rotation angle of the locking cam 5, other ways can also be used to limit the rotation angle of the locking cam 5, such as an arc-shaped slide is formed on the side wall of the locking cam 5, or an arc-shaped slide is formed on the side wall of the wire cavity 11, and a convex column is arranged on the side wall of the wire cavity 11 or on the side wall of the locking cam 5, so as to limit the rotation angle of the locking cam 5 by the convex column sliding in the arc-shaped slide. This is an equivalent replacement structure easily thought by those skilled in the art according to the present application, and belongs to the protection range of the present application.

[0037] The other side wall of the locking cam 5 is provided with a limiting protrusion 51 and an arc-shaped limiting slot 52, and the limiting stop structure on the inner side wall of the wiring cavity 11 on one side of the locking cam 5 includes a limiting slot 13 and an arc-shaped limiting protrusion 14. The limiting protrusion 51 on the other side wall of the locking cam 5 can be inserted into the limiting slot 13 on the inner side wall of the wiring cavity 11, and the arc-shaped limiting protrusion 14 on the inner side wall of the wiring cavity 11 can be inserted into the arc-shaped limiting slot 52 on the other side wall of the locking cam 5 to limit the reverse rotation angle of the locking cam 5. During the rotation of the locking cam 5, when the side wall of the elastic sheet 3 is released, the limiting protrusion 51 on the other side wall of the locking cam 5 is just accommodated in the limiting slot 13 on the inner side wall of the wiring cavity 11 of the insulating body 1, and at the same time, the arc-shaped limiting protrusion 14 on the inner side wall of the wiring cavity 11 of the insulating body 1 is just inserted into the arc-shaped limiting slot 52 on the other side wall of the locking cam 5, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the locking cam 5 and preventing the locking cam 5 from shaking.

[0038] The handle 4 is rotatably arranged on the insulating body 1 at a set angle, and the axial protruding actuating part 53 is arranged on one end surface of the locking cam 5. The side wall of the handle 4 is stopped on the front side wall of the actuating part 53 against reverse rotation, and the forward rotation of the handle 4 can push the actuating part 53 of the locking cam 5 to rotate forward synchronously. The rotation of the handle 4 can drive the actuating part 53 on the locking cam 5 to rotate synchronously, and the handle 4 can also slide linearly to drive the actuating part 53 on the locking cam 5 to rotate synchronously. This is an equivalent replacement structure that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art according to the present application, and belongs to the protection scope of the present application.

[0039] The locking cam 5 is provided with a convex shaft structure 54 on one end surface in the axial direction, and is provided with a shaft slot structure on the other end surface in the axial direction. The other end of the handle 4 is provided with a shaft hole 42. The convex shaft structure 54 on one end surface of the locking cam 5 can be inserted into the shaft hole 42 of the other end of the handle 4, and the length of the convex shaft structure 54 on the locking cam 5 is less than the length of the shaft hole 42 of the other end of the handle 4. The wiring cavity 11 of the insulating body 1 is provided with a positioning convex shaft on each of the two opposite side walls. The positioning convex shafts are respectively inserted into the shaft slot structure on the other end surface of the locking cam 5 and the shaft hole 42 of the other end of the handle 4 to realize the coaxial connection of the locking cam 5 and the handle 4 that can rotate relative to each other. The above structure realizes the coaxial hinged connection of the handle 4 and the locking cam 5, and simultaneously realizes the hinged connection of the handle 4 and the locking cam 5 with the inner side wall of the wiring cavity 11 of the insulating body 1, which is simple in structure and small in space occupation.

[0040] The two opposite side walls of the inside of the wiring cavity 11 of the insulating body 1 are respectively provided with a concave arc-shaped slide 15 and a convex arc-shaped slide concentric with the rotating shaft of the handle 4. The two opposite side walls of the handle 4 are respectively provided with a guide protrusion 43 and a guide groove 44. The guide protrusion 43 is slidably inserted into the concave arc-shaped slide 15, and the guide groove 44 is slidably sleeved outside the convex arc-shaped slide. During the rotation of the handle 4, the guide protrusion 43 slides in the concave arc-shaped slide 15 to achieve guidance, and at the same time, the guide groove 44 slides along the convex arc-shaped slide to also achieve guidance, thereby ensuring the stable rotation of the handle 4.

[0041] One end side wall of the concave arc-shaped slide 15 is formed with an interference protrusion 151, which can provide friction resistance for the guide protrusion 43 to rotate forward and away from the reverse rotation limit position. When the product is in the waiting wiring state, the handle 4 can be reset. After the handle 4 is reset, the guide protrusion 43 on the handle 4 reaches one end of the concave arc-shaped slide 15, which is blocked by the interference protrusion 151 on the one end side wall of the concave arc-shaped slide 15. Without external force, it cannot slide towards the other end of the concave arc-shaped slide 15, which can avoid accidental contact and cause the "waiting wiring" technology to fail.

[0042] The side wall of the elastic sheet 3 is formed with an arc-shaped bending part 31 by bending. The convex arc surface of the arc-shaped bending part 31 faces the side of the locking cam 5. The cam surface of the locking cam 5 includes an arc-shaped guide surface 55 and a convex arc-shaped locking surface 56. The distance between one end of the arc-shaped guide surface 55 and the axis of the locking cam 5 is greater than the distance between the other end of the arc-shaped guide surface 55 and the axis of the locking cam 5. The convex arc-shaped locking surface 56 is located at one end of the arc-shaped guide surface 55.

[0043] By bending the side wall of the elastic sheet 3 to form the arc-shaped bending part 31, the arc-shaped bending part 31 itself has a certain elasticity, and the overall strength of the elastic sheet 3 is increased. When the locking cam 5 rotates, the other end of the arc-shaped guide surface 55 of the locking cam 5 first contacts the convex arc surface of the arc-shaped bending part 31. As the locking cam 5 continues to rotate, the arc-shaped guide surface 55 of the locking cam 5 gradually transitions to one end contacting the convex arc surface of the arc-shaped bending part 31. Finally, the convex arc-shaped locking surface 56 of the locking cam 5 contacts the convex arc surface of the arc-shaped bending part 31. The elastic sheet 3 is gradually deformed, causing the other end to swing away from the conductive contact surface 21 of the conductive terminal 2, thereby releasing the wire 7. At the same time, the arc-shaped bending part 31 does not plastically deform due to the pressing force of the locking cam 5 during the deformation of the elastic sheet 3. When the top end of the convex arc-shaped locking surface 56 of the locking cam 5 is in direct contact with the top end of the convex arc surface of the arc-shaped bending part 31, the contact point, the center of the convex arc-shaped locking surface 56, and the axis of the locking cam 5 are located on the same straight line. At this time, the locking cam 5 is self-locking. During the entire rotation of the locking cam 5, the convex arc surface contacts the convex arc surface, the contact friction is small, the locking cam 5 rotates smoothly, and it is not easy to be damaged.
