[0027] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention, which are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, a person of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, terms such as "up", "down", "left", "right", "front", "back", etc., and the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention.

[0029] The utility model is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present embodiment provides a terminal block for preventing mis-installation, comprising a wiring frame 10, a driving member 30 and a wire pressing structure 20, wherein the wiring frame 10 has a wire threading space 101 for the wire 1 to be threaded, and the wire pressing structure 20 is swingably mounted on the wiring frame 10. Specifically, the wire pressing structure 20 has a crimping surface 23 corresponding to the wire threading space 101 and two side walls perpendicular to the crimping surface 23 and arranged opposite to each other, and the driving member 30 acts on the wire pressing structure 20 to drive the wire pressing structure 20 to swing toward the wire threading space 101.

[0031] A clearance notch 24 is provided on one of the side walls of the wire pressing structure 20. Specifically, the side wall provided with the clearance notch 24 is defined as a first wire pressing structure side wall 221, and the other side wall not provided with the clearance notch 24 is defined as a second wire pressing structure side wall 222. The wiring frame 10 is provided with a raised convex portion 16, and the convex portion 16 is accommodated in the clearance notch 24.

[0032] Thus, through the cooperation between the convex part 16 and the clearance notch 24, during assembly, only when the side with the clearance notch 24 (i.e., the first wire pressing structure side wall 221) is aligned with the convex part 16 for assembly, can the assembly be completed in place. If the second wire pressing structure side wall 222 does not have the clearance notch 24 during reverse assembly, it will interfere with the convex part 16 and cannot be assembled. In this way, it is effectively prevented that the product is unqualified due to the reverse assembly of the parts. And the structure of preventing mis-assembly is simple and effective.

[0033] The wiring operation of the anti-misinstallation terminal is as follows: Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the wire 1 is inserted into the wire threading space 101 of the wiring frame 10, and then the wire pressing structure 20 is driven to swing toward the wire threading space 101 by operating the driving member 30 until the crimping surface 23 of the wire pressing structure 20 is crimped onto the wire 1, thereby clamping and fixing the wire 1.

[0034] The wiring frame 10 is a hollow frame having a housing cavity 100, and the wire pressing structure 20 is accommodated in the housing cavity 100. Specifically, the wire threading space 101 is a part of the housing cavity 100. The protrusion 16 is formed on one of the side walls of the wiring frame 10 and extends toward the housing cavity. The side wall of the wiring frame 10 on which the protrusion 16 is provided is defined as a first wiring frame side wall 111, and the wiring frame 10 has a second wiring frame side wall 121 arranged opposite to the first wiring frame side wall 111. Specifically, in this embodiment, the wiring frame 10 is a hollow frame composed of a front side plate 11, a rear side plate 12, an upper side plate 13 and a lower side plate 14, wherein a convex portion is formed on the front side plate 11, that is, the first wiring frame side wall 111 is the front side plate 11, the second wiring frame side wall 121 is the rear side plate 12, the front side plate 11 corresponds to the first wire pressing structure side wall 221 of the wire pressing structure 20, and the rear side plate 12 corresponds to the second wire pressing structure side wall 222 of the wire pressing structure 20. A positioning hole 17 is provided on the second wiring frame side wall 121 (i.e., the rear side plate 12), and the positioning hole 17 is provided for positioning and matching with an external structure.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the protrusion 16 is a convex bulge structure integrally formed by stamping on the side wall 221 of the first wire pressing structure. Such a configuration makes molding easier.

[0036] The line extending from the swing fulcrum o to the swing end e of the crimping surface 23 conforms to the Archimedean spiral a. It can be understood that the swing fulcrum o is equivalent to the central starting point of the Archimedean spiral a, and the line extending from the swing fulcrum o to the swing end e of the crimping surface 23 is one of the line segments of the Archimedean spiral a. In this way, the crimping position of wires 1 with different diameters is kept uniform, such as when crimping a thick wire 1 (such as Fig. 9 As shown) and thin wire 1 (as Fig.10 When the crimping position is substantially maintained at the same height, the wiring depth and the terminal size can be effectively reduced for thicker wires 1. In addition, wires 1 of different diameters are all tangent to the Archimedean spiral a during installation, which can improve the wiring stability.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to better achieve the crimping of the wire 1, the crimping surface 23 of the wire crimping structure 20 has a crimping tooth portion 202. Specifically, the crimping surface 23 of the wire crimping structure 20 is recessed with a plurality of recesses 201, and the crimping tooth portion 202 is formed between adjacent recesses 201, that is, the crimping tooth portion 202 is formed by designing recesses 201 on the crimping surface 23. The crimping tooth portion 202 is crimped with the wire 1, and has a certain bite fit with the wire 1, so that the crimping is more stable.

[0038] There are multiple crimping teeth 202 , which are distributed along the swing fulcrum o toward the swing end e, ensuring that wires 1 of different diameters can cooperate with the crimping teeth 202 when being crimped.

[0039] Of course, in other embodiments, the crimping surface 23 of the wire crimping structure 20 may not form the structure of the crimping teeth 202 , that is, the entire crimping surface 23 is a smooth and complete surface.

[0040] The wiring frame 10 has at least a first side opening 104 and a second side opening 102 adjacent to the first side opening 104. The first side opening 104 of the wiring frame 10 is equipped with a wire pressing plate 40. The threading space 101 is located between the wire pressing structure 20 and the wire pressing plate 40; the second side opening 102 is used as a wire insertion port to connect the threading space 101. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first side opening 104 is the right side opening of the wiring frame 10, and the second side opening 102 is the adjacent upper side opening. The wire 1 is inserted into the threading space 101 through the upper side opening. The wire pressing structure 20 is driven by the driving member 30 to be crimped on the wire 1, and the wire 1 is clamped between the wire pressing structure 20 and the wire pressing plate 40. The setting of the first side opening 104 of the wiring frame 10 facilitates the assembly of the wire pressing structure 20 in the wiring frame 10 first, and then the wire pressing plate 40 is installed. At the same time, by adding the structure of the wire pressing plate 40, the wire pressing plate 40 can also bear a current carrier for carrying current.

[0041] In this embodiment, the wire pressing structure 20 includes a wire pressing block 22 and a connecting shaft column 21 connected to each other, and the connecting shaft column 21 is assembled on the wiring frame 10 so that the wire pressing block 22 swings with the connecting shaft column 21 as a fulcrum, and the side of the wire pressing block 22 corresponding to the wire pressing plate 40 is a crimping surface 23. Specifically, the wire pressing block 22 and the connecting shaft column 21 are an integral connection structure.

[0042] Furthermore, an opposite side (i.e., the front side plate 11 and the rear side plate 12) of the wiring frame 10 is recessed with an accommodation notch 15, and both ends of the connecting shaft column 21 are assembled in the accommodation notch 15 on the opposite side. One installation method is: the two ends of the connecting shaft column 21 are respectively installed in the accommodation notches 15 of the front side plate 11 and the rear side plate 12, and the wire pressing block 22 is installed in the wiring frame 10 through the first side opening 104 and the second side opening 102, and then the wire pressing plate 40 is assembled to achieve simple installation.

[0043] Specifically, the wire pressing plate 40 includes a wire pressing plate body 41 and a dovetail-shaped connecting portion 42 connected to one opposite side (i.e., the front and rear sides) of the wire pressing plate body 41. A dovetail-shaped mounting opening 103 is provided on one opposite side (i.e., the front side plate 11 and the rear side plate 12) of the wiring frame 10. The connecting portion 42 is fixedly assembled in the dovetail-shaped mounting opening 103 of the wiring frame 10. The dovetail-shaped fixed mounting structure is adopted, and the installation is more firm.

[0044] The surface of the wire pressing plate 40 on one side facing the wire threading space 101 has a plurality of recessed depressions 43. Specifically, the recess 43 is a strip-shaped recess extending along the width direction (i.e., the front-to-back direction) of the wire pressing plate 40 and perpendicular to the insertion direction of the wire 1, which can increase the contact friction with the wire 1 and improve the crimping stability of the wire 1.

[0045] Of course, in other embodiments, when the wire pressing structure 20 is assembled to the wiring frame 10 in other ways, the wire pressing plate 40 and the front side plate 11 and the rear side plate 12 of the wiring frame 10 may also be integrally connected.

[0046] Furthermore, the driving member 30 is a pan head screw 31, and the pan head screw 31 is screwed on the wiring frame 10 and abuts against the wire pressing structure 20. Figure 4 As shown, the right side surface of the wire pressing structure 20 is the crimping surface 23, and the pan head screw 31 is screwed on the upper side plate 13 of the wiring frame 10 and is located on the left side of the connecting shaft column 21. The pan head screw 31 abuts against the left end portion of the wire pressing structure 20. By screwing the pan head screw 31, the left end of the wire pressing structure 20 is driven downward, so that the wire pressing structure 20 swings from left to right to achieve crimping of the wire 1.

[0047] The drive of the pan head screw 31 can realize stepless adjustment and adapt to the crimping of wires 1 of different diameters. At the same time, the pan head screw 31 can provide greater wiring torque. And because the line extending from the swing fulcrum o to the swing end e of the crimping surface 23 conforms to the design of the Archimedean spiral a, the wires 1 of different diameters are always tangent to the crimping surface 23 during installation, thus ensuring that the torque of the pan head screw 31 can be effectively transmitted, further improving the wiring reliability.

[0048] Of course, in other embodiments, the driving member 30 may also be other components that can drive the wire pressing structure to swing.

[0049] This embodiment also provides an electrical device, which at least includes the above-mentioned connection terminal.

[0050] Although the present invention has been specifically demonstrated and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes may be made to the present invention in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims, all of which are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
