Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mechanical equipment, in particular to a terminal row crimping wiring automation equipment. Background Art

[0002] Terminal blocks (built-in spring sheet type) are widely used in elevator control cabinets and electrical boxes. When wiring, the operator needs to use a flathead screwdriver to forcefully press the spring sheet open before inserting the wire core into the wiring port, and then release the flathead screwdriver. There are several disadvantages in this process:
