Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrical connectors, and in particular to a connector. Background Art

[0002] Connectors are commonly used connectors on electrical equipment, and the plug-in terminals in the connectors are fixedly installed. During installation, the terminals cannot be installed into the holes due to the position deviation between the terminals and the holes. At this time, the terminals need to be adjustable. However, the terminals of connectors currently on the market can often only be adjusted left and right, up and down, or front and back. However, the adjustments required in actual installation are not limited to adjustments in two directions. Therefore, the connectors currently on the market are difficult to install or even impossible to install.

[0003] Secondly, the lateral direction of the terminal tail is the width of the terminal. Since the width of the terminal is usually wider, in order to ensure the creepage distance between the two terminals, the width of the connector needs to be increased, but this type of connector structure is larger and more expensive. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a connector that solves the technical problem in the prior art that the terminal has low adjustability, which makes installation difficult or even impossible. The preferred technical solution among the many technical solutions provided by the present invention can produce many technical effects as described below.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting terminal is a sheet-shaped body, the strip hole is arranged in the middle of the connecting terminal, and the strip hole extends from the first connecting part to the fourth connecting part.

[0007] Preferably, the first connecting portion and the third connecting portion are perpendicular to each other.

[0008] Preferably, the connector is an integral structure.

[0009] Preferably, the included angle α between the first connection portion and the second connection portion is greater than 90°, and the included angle β between the second connection portion and the third connection portion is equal to α-90°.

[0010] Preferably, it further comprises an isolation sheet, and the isolation sheet is arranged between adjacent connecting terminals.

[0011] Preferably, it further comprises a mounting shell, wherein ribs are arranged in the inner cavity of the mounting shell corresponding to the groove.

[0012] Preferably, the connector is a three-head connector, which includes a first connector, a second connector and a third connector, and the second connector and the third connector are both connected to the first connector.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] A specific embodiment of the present invention provides a connector, Figure 1 As shown, it includes a connecting terminal, wherein a strip hole 1 is provided in the length direction of the connecting terminal, the connecting terminal is a sheet structure, and includes a first connecting portion 2, a second connecting portion 3, a third connecting portion 4 and a fourth connecting portion 5 in sequence along the length direction of the connecting terminal, the first connecting portion 2 and the second connecting portion 3 are connected by a first bending portion 6, the second connecting portion 3 and the third connecting portion 4 are connected by a second bending portion 7, the fourth connecting portion 5 is connected to an end of the third connecting portion 4 away from the second connecting portion 3, the fourth connecting portion 5 is folded to form a third bending portion 8, and the length direction of the third bending portion 8 is the same as the length direction of the strip hole 1. It should be noted that the length of the strip hole 1 can extend from the first connecting portion 2 to the fourth connecting portion 5, so that the third connecting portion 4 is two side-by-side sheet structures, because the third connecting portion 4 is folded to form the third bending portion 8, and the two sheets at the third connecting portion 4 are not folded to each other, so that a bent sheet portion can be formed between the fourth connecting portion 5 and the third connecting portion 4. In this way, this type of connecting terminal in the present application has adjustability in multiple directions, thereby reducing the difficulty and accuracy during installation.

[0020] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the connecting terminal is a sheet-like body, and the strip hole 1 is arranged in the middle of the connecting terminal. The strip hole 1 extends from the first connecting part 2 to the fourth connecting part 5, so that the second connecting part 3 and the third connecting part 4 are both side-by-side double-sheet structures.

[0021] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 2 and the third connecting portion 4 are perpendicular to each other. Figure 1As shown, the second connection part 3 is arranged upwardly at an angle relative to the first connection part 2, and the third connection part 4 is arranged downwardly at an angle relative to the second connection part 3, so that the first connection part 2 and the third connection part 4 are finally perpendicular to each other. In the present application, the angle α between the first connection part 2 and the second connection part 3 is greater than 90°, such as α is 135°, 145°, 155°, etc., and the angle β between the second connection part 3 and the third connection part 4 is α-90°.

[0022] In some embodiments, the connector is an integral structure, that is, an integral structure formed by punching and bending.

[0023] In some embodiments, the connector further comprises a spacer 9, Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, an isolation sheet 9 is provided between adjacent connection terminals, so that the creepage distance between two adjacent connection terminals is increased by the isolation sheet 9. In this way, there is no need to increase the creepage distance by increasing the width of the connector, thereby reducing the size of the connector and reducing the production cost.

[0024] In some embodiments, the connector further includes a mounting shell 10 , and a rib 12 is provided in the inner cavity of the mounting shell 10 corresponding to the groove 11 , so that the groove 11 can be retained while ensuring that the groove 11 does not shrink inwardly toward its inner cavity.

[0025] In some embodiments, the combination Figure 4 As shown, the connector is a three-head connector, which includes a first connector 13, a second connector 14 and a third connector 15. The second connector 14 and the third connector 15 are both connected to the first connector 13, so that they can be directly connected to the device, reducing adapter cables to reduce the overall equipment cost and installation cost.
