DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following detailed description and drawings of the embodiments of the present invention are used to illustrate the principle of the present invention, but cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention, that is, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described.

[0030] In order to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0031] See also Figure 1 to Figure 4As shown, a compact high-current double-layer welding plate terminal provided by an embodiment of the utility model comprises a clamping assembly 1, four first plug-in units 2 and second plug-in units 3 respectively arranged one by one and arranged up and down, each first plug-in unit 2 and each second plug-in unit 3 are provided with a clamping assembly 1, and the first plug-in unit 2 and the second plug-in unit 3 are both provided with a plug-in hole 4 for connecting a cable, and the same side of the first plug-in unit 2 and the second plug-in unit 3 are both provided with a threaded hole 5 inclined toward the plug-in hole 4;

[0032] Specifically, see Figure 1 As shown, the clamping assembly 1 includes a fastener 11 and a spring 12. The spring 12 is movably mounted on a fixing column. The fixing column and the spring 12 are located on one side of the threaded hole 5. At least a portion of the fastener 11 is inserted into the threaded hole 5. When the fastener 11 is screwed in to a certain depth, the fastener 11 and the spring 12 are in contact. If the fastener 11 is screwed in further, the fastener 11 will drive the spring 12 to rotate around the fixing column at a certain angle, so that the end of the spring 12 is pressed against the cable or inserted into the hole reserved for the cable to fix the cable. This design reduces the space occupancy rate of the fastener 11 in the height direction, and effectively utilizes the vertical space, reducing the space occupancy rate in the height direction. This compact design makes the terminal structure more compact, which is conducive to achieving efficient electrical connection in a limited space.

[0033] See also Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a compact high-current double-layer welding plate terminal provided by the embodiment of the utility model also includes a pin 6 for ensuring smooth transmission of current in the double-layer welding plate terminal. Specifically, the pin 6 is a conductive sheet, and the pin 6 includes a contact portion 61 and a connecting portion 62. Specifically, the pin 6 adopts an integrated structure, that is, the contact portion 61 and the connecting portion 62 are made by an integrated molding process, which enhances the structural strength and stability of the pin 6 and avoids the problem of decreased conductivity due to loose or broken connections. The contact portion 61 is located directly below the spring 12. A protrusion 611 is provided on the contact portion 61, and the protrusion 611 is located on one end of the contact portion 61 close to the plug-in hole 4. When the cable is pressed by the spring sheet 12, the conductor part of the cable will directly contact the contact portion 61 of the pin 6, ensuring good contact between the cable and the pin 6 and improving the conductive efficiency. Moreover, when the cable is inserted into the plug-in hole 4 and pressed by the spring sheet 12, the protrusion 611 will clamp the outer skin of the cable, increase the friction between the cable and the plug-in hole 4, and prevent the cable from accidentally falling off, thereby preventing the risk of the cable falling off from the plug-in hole 4 when subjected to external force.

[0034] See also Figure 5-6As shown, the first plug-in unit 2 includes a first insulating base 21 and a first cover 22. Both sides of the first cover 22 are provided with a first extension 221. The upper end of the first insulating base 21 is provided with a first notch 211 that is engaged with the first extension 221. When the first insulating base 21 and the first cover 22 are assembled to form an integral part, the first extension 221 is engaged with the first notch 211, so that the first cover 22 can be limited to prevent the first cover 22 from shifting in the horizontal direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first insulating base 21 is the basic component of the plug-in unit. The first insulating base 21 plays a role of electrical isolation to ensure that the current will not be short-circuited when it is transmitted inside the terminal. At the same time, the first insulating base 21 also plays a role in supporting and fixing the pin 6.

[0035] See also Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, the second plug-in unit 3 includes a second insulating base 31 and a second cover 32, and second extensions 321 are provided on both sides of the second cover 32. The upper end of the second insulating base 31 is provided with a second notch 311 that is matched and engaged with the second extension 321. Specifically, the second notch 311 is matched and engaged with the second extension 321 on the second cover 32, so that the second cover 32 can be fixed through the interaction between the second extension 321 and the second notch 311, thereby ensuring the structural firmness of the second plug-in unit 3 and preventing the risk of displacement of the second cover 32 due to factors such as vibration and impact during use.

[0036] See also Figure 4 As shown, a compact high-current double-layer welding plate terminal provided by an embodiment of the utility model also includes a shell 7, a support platform 71 is arranged in the shell 7, the first plug-in unit 2 is overlapped on the support platform 71, the second plug-in unit 3 is located below the support platform 71, and a first bayonet 711 is arranged on the support platform 71, and a first clamping protrusion 312 is arranged on the second insulating base 31, the first clamping protrusion 312 and the first bayonet 711 are matched and clamped, when the first clamping protrusion 312 is clamped into the first bayonet 711, the horizontal height of the upper end surface of the first clamping protrusion 312 is lower than or equal to the horizontal height of the upper end surface of the support platform 71, preferably, the width of the first clamping protrusion 312 is smaller than the width of the second insulating base 31, and the side wall of the second insulating base 31 is provided with a second protrusion 313 extending outward, and the side wall of the shell 7 is provided with a second clamping hole 75 that penetrates the wall thickness of the shell 7, and at least a part of the second protrusion 313 is accommodated in the second clamping hole 75.

[0037] Specifically, when the first clamping protrusion 312 is clamped into the first clamping hole 711, the horizontal height of the upper end surface of the first clamping protrusion 312 is lower than or equal to the horizontal height of the upper end surface of the support platform 71. This design ensures that when the second plug-in unit 3 is fixed on the support platform 71, its overall height will not exceed the upper end surface of the support platform 71, which not only facilitates the insertion of the cable into the plug-in hole 4 of the first plug-in unit 2, but also helps to maintain the compactness and structural stability of the entire high-current double-layer welding plate terminal.

[0038] Preferably, the first insulating base 21 is provided with a second clamping protrusion 212, the upper end of the shell 7 is provided with an avoidance opening 72, and at least a portion of the top surface of the shell 7 extends downward to form a limiting portion 73, the side wall of the second clamping protrusion 212 abuts against the side wall of the limiting portion 73, and the top surface of the second clamping protrusion 212 abuts against the inner top surface of the shell 7.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply 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 on the present application.

[0040] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the utility model.

[0041] The above is an exemplary description of the utility model patent in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the implementation of the utility model patent is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as various improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the utility model patent, or the concept and technical solution of the utility model patent are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
