[0002] The universal conversion switch is a switch component that can be used in combination of multi-layer contact assemblies by stacking and cascading according to actual user needs, such as the Chinese invention patent CN100435257C "universal conversion switch" applied by our company. However, its wiring uses screws to connect, which has the defects of low wiring efficiency and inconvenient operation in narrow spaces; for this reason, an enterprise has developed and applied for the Chinese patent CN2906956Y "a universal conversion switch with spring wiring", which uses a V-shaped spring to achieve rapid clamping and connection of the wire. Then, in actual application, it is found that the wire connection holes are distributed on the four corners of the contact assembly. Therefore, when it is necessary to use a U-shaped terminal to connect two springs at the same time for combined application, only two wires can be plugged in separately and then merged together, which is not convenient enough in this application scenario; at the same time, its conventional hole design is not conducive to the connection effect of the pin-type terminal. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a universal conversion switch, which not only changes the distribution position of the wire connection holes, but also sets an avoidance groove between the two wire connection holes, so as to facilitate the downward insertion of the U-shaped terminal, ensure the connection between the two pins of the U-shaped terminal and the spring, thereby ensuring the conductive effect.

[0006] Preferably, a countersunk groove is provided between two upper and lower wire connection holes of each group of wiring hole units.

[0007] Preferably, the wire connection holes are all step holes, and the step surfaces of the step holes are all tapered surfaces.

[0008] Preferably, the spring piece is a V-shaped structure consisting of a fixed section and a connecting section, the fixed section is fitted on the inner wall of the wiring chamber, and the connecting section is obliquely overlapped on the inner wall on the other side of the wiring chamber; and the end of the connecting section faces the wire connection hole, and the wire removal hole faces the middle of the connecting section.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the wiring chamber, and the end of the connecting section is overlapped on the limiting protrusion.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0011] The utility model retains the ability to quickly connect a single wire under the conventional spring-type connection method in the background technology, and by changing the position of the wire connection hole, it is convenient for the two pins of the same U-shaped terminal to be inserted into the springs in the two wire connection holes at the same time, thereby realizing a quick connection when used in parallel; and the design of the avoidance groove between the two wire connection holes in this patent ensures the insertion depth of the U-shaped terminal and the reliability of the electrical connection between the U-shaped terminal and the spring.

[0025] Fixed section 3.1, connecting section 3.2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 7 The utility model relates to a universal conversion switch, which is composed of a plurality of contact assemblies 101 stacked on each other, and a pressure cover plate 102 is pressed on both the contact assembly 101 located on the top layer and the contact assembly 101 located on the bottom layer.

[0027] The contact assembly 101 includes a shell 1, on which two groups of wiring hole units are arranged on the left and right sides, each group of wiring hole units includes two rows of wiring hole positions arranged up and down, each row of wiring hole positions includes wire connection holes 1.1 and wire removal holes 1.2 arranged on the left and right sides, and a countersunk hole groove 1.4 is arranged between the two wire connection holes 1.1 arranged up and down in each group of wiring hole units, thereby forming a staggered structure design, which is convenient for inserting the U-shaped terminal 201, and at the same time, the two wire connection holes 1.1 arranged up and down in each group of wiring hole units are connected to each other through an avoidance groove 1.3, and the avoidance groove 1.3 is located at the bottom of the countersunk hole groove 1.4.

[0028] A mounting base 2 is provided in the shell 1, and two wiring chambers 2.1 arranged left and right are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the mounting base 2, and each wiring chamber 2.1 is opposite to a row of wiring holes, and the two corresponding wiring chambers 2.1 between the upper and lower surfaces are connected through an avoidance groove 2.3, and the avoidance groove 2.3 is located below the avoidance groove 1.3 and is connected to each other.

[0029] Each wiring chamber 2.1 is equipped with a spring piece 3, and a mounting column 2.4 is vertically arranged in the wiring chamber 2.1. The spring piece 3 is a V-shaped structure composed of a fixed section 3.1 and a connecting section 3.2, and the fixed section 3.1 and the connecting section 3.2 are connected by a circular arc transition section. The middle circular arc transition section of the spring piece 3 of the V-shaped structure is sleeved on the mounting column 2.4, and the fixed section 3.1 passes through the slit between the mounting column 2.4 and the side wall of the wiring chamber 2.1 and rests on the inner wall of the wiring chamber 2.1, and the connecting section 3.2 is obliquely overlapped on the inner wall of the other side of the wiring chamber 2.1, and a limiting protrusion 2.2 is arranged on the inner wall of the wiring chamber 2.1 to limit the end of the connecting section 3.2. At this time, the end of the connecting section 3.2 faces the wire connection hole 1.1, and the wire removal hole 1.2 faces the middle of the connecting section 3.2. Therefore, the wire can be inserted through the wire connection hole 1.1, and the wire can be easily inserted between the connection section 3.2 of the spring 3 and the inner wall of the wiring chamber 2.1, and due to the oblique setting of the connection section 3.2, the guide cannot be pulled out in the reverse direction. When the wire needs to be pulled out later, a screwdriver can be inserted from the wire removal hole 1.2, so that the screwdriver contacts the middle of the connection section 3.2, so that the connection section 3.2 is rotated and pressed down around the installation column 2.4 as the center, so that the connection section 3.2 is released from the clamping of the wire, and the wire can be easily pulled out.

[0030] like Figure 6 As described above, when the U-shaped terminal 201 is inserted, the wire terminal part connected to the U-shaped terminal 201 can be conveniently inserted into the countersunk groove 1.4; at the same time, with the insertion of the U-shaped terminal 201, through the design of the avoidance groove 1.3 and the avoidance groove 2.3, the two pins of the U-shaped terminal 201 can be conveniently inserted deeply downward, thereby achieving benign contact with the two spring pieces 3.

[0031] See also Figure 7 The wire connection hole 1.1 is a stepped hole, and the stepped surfaces of the stepped hole are all conical surfaces, so that the needle terminal 202 can be inserted more smoothly and the combination with the spring 3 is more reliable.

[0032] In addition: It should be noted that the above specific implementation is only an optimization scheme of this patent. Any changes or improvements made by technicians in this field based on the above concept are within the scope of protection of this patent.
