[0019] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0020] All features disclosed in this specification, or steps in all methods or processes disclosed, except mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any manner.

[0021] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any additional claims, abstract and drawings), unless otherwise stated, may be replaced by other equivalent or alternative features with similar purposes. That is, unless otherwise stated, each feature is only an example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a cable arrangement and terminal positioning mechanism of the utility model comprises a cable arrangement 4 and a terminal 1, wherein the terminal 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes penetrating the terminal 1, one end of the mounting holes forms a rectangular opening 7 connected to the outside, the rectangular opening 7 is arranged upward, the top surface of the terminal 1 is recessed to form a groove connected to the rectangular opening 7, a cover plate 3 is installed on the groove through a hinge, a locking shell 5 for pressing and positioning the cable arrangement 4 is installed at the inner side surface of the cover plate 3 facing the rectangular opening 7, the other end of the locking shell 5 extends into the rectangular opening 7, an insert tube 2 is installed in the mounting hole, a wire trough body 6 is installed at one end of the insert tube 2, and the wire core of the cable arrangement 4 extends into the wire trough body 6.

[0023] In this embodiment, one end of the wire slot body 6 close to the insert tube 2 is recessed to form a clamping groove, and the locking shell 5 is provided with an arc groove 9 on one side facing the wire slot body 6. The inner side surface of the arc groove 9 is convex to match the clamping groove and press the wire core to the curved extrusion portion 8.

[0024] In this embodiment, the inserting tube 2, the wire slot body 6 and the locking shell 5 are all made of brass material.

[0025] In this embodiment, the cover plate 3 and the terminal 1 are both made of insulating plastic material, thereby avoiding short circuit caused by leakage.

[0026] In this embodiment, the combined width of the cover plate 3 and the terminal 1 matches the width of the internal slot of the socket, so that the terminal and the cover plate can be smoothly inserted into the slot and the cover plate is pressed downward.

[0027] In this embodiment, the inner cavity of the wire slot body 6 and the inner cavity of the locking shell 5 are combined to form a clamping channel that matches the wire core on the flat cable 4, so that the clamping channel can fully contact the wire core and increase the contact area.

[0028] In this embodiment, the width of the locking shell 5 matches the width of the rectangular opening 7, and both sides of the locking shell 5 are in contact with the inner side of the rectangular opening 7, so that the locking shell can only move up and down along the rectangular opening, avoiding deviation, so that the locking shell can be accurately pressed on the outside of the wire slot body.

[0029] When in use, the wire core of the cable can be placed in the wire slot body, and as the terminal is inserted into the socket, the cover plate on the terminal will be squeezed by the inside of the socket, causing the cover plate to rotate downward until the locking shell and the wire slot body are pressed inward, and the wire core is pressed and positioned, wherein the squeezing part can press down one end of the wire core, so that one end of the wire core can be bent and pressed into the arc groove, so that the wire core is arranged in an "L"-shaped structure, increasing the contact area with the wire slot body, so as to ensure the firmness of the pressing and positioning, and avoid loosening;

[0030] On the contrary, after the terminal is removed from the socket, the cover plate will lose the clamping force from the socket. At this time, the cover plate can be opened upward with the hinge as the center, so that the locking shell is removed from the wire trough body. After losing the clamping force of the locking shell, the wire core can be directly removed from the wire trough body, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance.

[0031] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that are not conceived through creative work should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope defined in the claims.
