[0030] The driving unit 3, the driving unit 3 includes a guiding sleeve 31 mounted on the mounting frame 21, a connecting column 33 is arranged in the guiding sleeve 31, and the connecting column 33 is mounted on the top of the mounting turntable 22. An adjusting turntable 32 is slidably mounted on the connecting column 33 in the vertical direction, and the adjusting turntable 32 is connected to the connecting column 33 through a sliding key. A first spring 34 is further arranged between the adjusting turntable 32 and the mounting frame 21. Two guiding columns 321 are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the adjusting turntable 32, and a spiral guiding groove 311 matching the guiding column 321 is formed on the inner wall of the guiding sleeve 31;

[0031] The adjusting unit 5, the adjusting unit 5 is mounted on the inner side of the protective cover 11, and a set of adjusting units 5 are arranged at the corresponding positions of each wiring board 24. When the protective cover 11 is mounted on the base 1, the adjusting unit 5 will push the guiding sleeve 31 towards the side close to the mounting turntable 22, and simultaneously push the pressing unit 4 to press the electric wire tightly on the wiring board 24.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the power supply terminals 12 and the wiring boards 24 can be flexibly set according to different types, specifically two or three. During use, each power supply terminal 12 is respectively used to connect to the power supply end. Then, after the end of the electric wire to be connected is peeled, it is placed between two winding rods 23 at the designated wiring board 24. Then, only need to mount the protective cover 11 on the base 1. During the process of mounting the protective cover 11 on the base 1, the adjusting unit 5 will push the adjusting turntable 32 to slide along the axial direction of the connecting column 33 towards the side close to the mounting turntable 22. During this process, the guiding column 321 will slide along the spiral guiding groove 311, so that the adjusting turntable 32 rotates. The adjusting turntable 32 can drive the mounting turntable 22 to rotate synchronously through the connecting column 33, and the mounting turntable 22 drives the winding rods 23 to rotate synchronously, so as to wind the end of the electric wire around the two winding rods 23. At the same time, the adjusting unit 5 will push the pressing unit 4 to move towards the side close to the wiring board 24, so as to clamp the electric wire tightly on the wiring board 24, that is, the power connection operation is completed. Subsequently, only need to toggle the knife switch 13 to realize the control of power on and power off.

[0033] As Figure 2 and 3 shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pressing unit 4 includes a sliding rod 41 and a pressing block 42. The sliding rod 41 is mounted on the base 1, and the two sliding rods 41 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the wiring board 24. The two ends of the pressing block 42 are respectively slidably mounted on a sliding rod 41, and a second spring 43 is further arranged between the pressing block 42 and the base 1. A pressing groove 421 is formed on the bottom surface of the pressing block 42.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present invention, when there is no external force acting, the elastic force of the second spring 43 will cause the pressing block 42 to be located at the upper limit position. After the protective cover 11 is installed on the base 1, the adjusting unit 5 will push the pressing block 42 to slide towards the side close to the wiring board 24, so as to clamp the wire on the wiring board 24 through the pressing groove 421 on the pressing block 42. When the wire is pulled from the outside, the acting point will be at the pressing block 42, thus preventing the external acting force from directly acting on the connection between the wire and the winding rod 23. When the wire needs to be removed, only by releasing the pressing action of the adjusting unit 5 on the pressing block 42, the elastic restoring force of the second spring 43 will push the pressing block 42 to move away from the wiring board 24, and the pressing action on the wire can be automatically released.

[0035] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting unit 5 includes a connecting plate 51 installed inside the protective cover 11, and a pressing rod 52 and a pressing sleeve 53 are installed on the connecting plate 51.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the protective cover 11 is installed on the base 1, the pressing sleeve 53 will abut against the adjusting turntable 32, and the pressing rod 52 will abut against the pressing block 42. As the protective cover 11 is installed in place, the connecting plate 51 will drive the pressing rod 52 and the pressing sleeve 53 to move towards the side close to the wiring board 24. During this process, the pressing sleeve 53 will push the adjusting turntable 32 to move towards the side close to the installation turntable 22, so as to drive the installation turntable 22 to rotate; the pressing rod 52 will push the pressing block 42 to move towards the side close to the wiring board 24, so as to clamp the wire on the wiring board 24.

[0037] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each connecting plate 51 is installed inside the protective cover 11 through a set of control components 6, and the control components 6 drive the connecting plate 51 to linearly move along the axial direction of the connecting column 33.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the protective cover 11 is installed on the base 1, if it is necessary to remove and replace a specified wire, there is no need to remove the protective cover 11 from the base 1. Only by driving the connecting plate 51 at the position of this wire to move away from the mounting bracket 21 through the control components 6, so that this set of adjusting units 5 releases the pressing action on the adjusting turntable 32 and the pressing block 42. Correspondingly, the pressing unit 4 releases the fixation of the wire, and the connection module 2 no longer winds the end of the wire. The operator only needs to gently pull to remove the wire. When installing later, only need to insert the wire in place and then adjust the control components 6.

[0039] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the control assembly 6 includes a guide rod 61 and an adjusting screw 62. The guide rod 61 is installed inside the protective cover 11, and the connecting plate 51 is slidably installed on the guide rod 61. The adjusting screw 62 penetrates through the protective cover 11, and a threaded hole matching the adjusting screw 62 is provided on the protective cover 11. One end of the adjusting screw 62 located inside the protective cover 11 is rotatably installed on the connecting plate 51.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present invention, in the initial state, the adjusting screw 62 is fully tightened on the protective cover 11. When it is necessary to disconnect and replace a specified wire, only the adjusting screw 62 needs to be rotated counterclockwise. Under the guiding action of the guide rod 61, the adjusting screw 62 can drive the connecting plate 51 to move away from the adjusting turntable 32, so that this set of adjusting units 5 releases the pressing action on the adjusting turntable 32 and the pressing block 42. Through the elastic restoring force of the first spring 34 and the second spring 43, the adjusting turntable 32 and the pressing block 42 can be restored to their initial positions.

[0041] As shown in Figure 4 shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a placement groove 241 is further provided on the upper surface of each wiring board 24. The placement groove 241 can provide guidance for the wire when inserting the wire, and in addition, it can cooperate with the pressing groove 421 to stably clamp the wire to prevent the wiring end of the wire from shaking randomly.

[0042] As shown in Figure 1 shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of inlet sleeves 111 are provided at one end of the protective cover 11 close to the wiring board 24, corresponding to each wiring board 24 respectively. Through the inlet sleeves 111, the wire can only enter (or leave) the protective cover 11 in one direction. Compared with only opening holes on the protective cover 11, the inlet sleeves 111 can effectively prevent the wire from shaking randomly during the wiring process, thereby improving the wiring efficiency.

[0043] It should be additionally noted that at this time, during the initial wiring, the wire needs to be inserted from a specified position at the end of the protective cover 11 and then placed between the two winding rods 23 at the corresponding wiring board 24.

[0044] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 8 shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a first indicating line 14 and a second indicating line 15 are further provided at the edge of the side wall of the base 1. During use, the distance between the second indicating line 15 and the first indicating line 14 (i.e., Figure 8The length x1 in it) is the length that the end of the wire needs to be peeled, and the distance from the second indicating wire 15 to the nearest corner (i.e., Figure 8 x1 + x2 in it) is the length that the end of the wire needs to be inserted into the inside of the protective cover 11, where the x2 section is reserved for the area to match the pressing unit 4. By providing the indicating wire, it is convenient for the operator to reasonably peel and install the wire during wiring, improving the operation convenience.

[0045] Working principle: When in use, each power cord terminal 12 is respectively used to connect to the power supply end. Then, after peeling the end of the wire to be connected, it is placed between the two winding rods 23 at the designated wiring board 24. Then, just install the protective cover 11 on the base 1. During the process of installing the protective cover 11 on the base 1, the pressing sleeve 53 will abut against the adjusting turntable 32, and the pressing rod 52 will abut against the pressing block 42. As the protective cover 11 is installed in place, the connecting plate 51 will drive the pressing rod 52 and the pressing sleeve 53 to move towards the side close to the wiring board 24. By pushing the adjusting turntable 32 towards the side close to the mounting turntable 22 through the pressing sleeve 53, during this process, the guiding column 321 will slide along the spiral guiding groove 311, so that the adjusting turntable 32 rotates. The adjusting turntable 32 can drive the mounting turntable 22 to rotate synchronously through the connecting column 33, and the mounting turntable 22 drives the winding rods 23 to rotate synchronously, so as to wind the end of the wire around the two winding rods 23. At the same time, the pressing rod 52 will push the pressing block 42 towards the side close to the wiring board 24, so as to clamp the wire on the wiring board 24 through the pressing groove 421 on the pressing block 42, that is, the power connection operation is completed. When pulling the wire from the outside, the acting point will be at the pressing block 42, so as to prevent the external acting force from directly acting on the connection between the wire and the winding rod 23. Subsequently, just toggle the knife switch 13 to realize the control of power on and off.

[0046] In addition, after the protective cover 11 is installed on the base 1, if it is necessary to disassemble and replace the designated wire, there is no need to remove the protective cover 11 from the base 1 again. Just reverse the rotation of the adjusting screw 62. Under the guiding action of the guiding rod 61, the adjusting screw 62 can drive the connecting plate 51 to move towards the side away from the adjusting turntable 32, so that this set of adjusting units 5 releases the pressing action on the adjusting turntable 32 and the pressing block 42. Correspondingly, the pressing unit 4 will release the fixation of the wire, and the connecting module 2 will no longer wind the end of the wire. The operator only needs to gently pull to remove the wire. When installing later, only need to insert the wire in place and then adjust the control component 6.

[0047] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
