Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to an industrial control connector signal terminal. Background Art

[0002] Connectors are used to connect the media transmission between two transmission devices. There are many types of connectors, such as electrical connectors, industrial control connectors, etc. Electrical connectors are used to transmit current or electrical signals. Industrial control connectors are mainly used for the transmission of electrical signals between automation and control systems, which can reduce cable losses. Connector signal terminals are an indispensable part of connectors and are used to transmit current or electrical signals. After die-casting, signal terminals need to be crimped into the connector through subsequent processing.

[0003] However, a problem has arisen. When the signal terminal is crimped into the connector, the signal terminal is usually crooked or misaligned due to angle problems or misalignment with the connector's socket when pressed in. At the same time, after the signal terminal is pressed in, if the gripper of the crimping machine is not released in time, the pressed-in signal terminal will be pulled out, resulting in poor contact. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the technical defects raised in the above-mentioned background technology, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a signal terminal of an industrial control connector, which can facilitate insertion when the signal terminal is crimped into the connector, and can prevent the terminal body from being pulled out when the crimping machine is finished.

[0005] The utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An industrial control connector signal terminal comprises a terminal body, guide grooves arranged on two opposite sides of the terminal body and guide rails arranged on the other two opposite sides, wherein both ends of the terminal body are in a quadrangular pyramid structure.

[0007] Optionally, the end of the guide rail close to one end of the terminal body is in an arc shape, and the guide groove extends from the one end of the terminal body to the middle of the terminal body.

[0008] Optionally, the depth of the guide groove gradually decreases from one end of the terminal body to the middle of the terminal body, and the height of the guide rail gradually increases from one end of the terminal body to the middle of the terminal body.

[0009] Optionally, the two guide rails are provided with snap-in positions adapted to the connector.

[0010] Optionally, the terminal body, guide groove and guide rail are all integrally formed.

[0011] In summary, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] By providing guide grooves and guide rails on the terminal body, it is possible to align the terminal body with the connector socket when assembling it into the connector, thereby preventing the present invention from being crookedly inserted or misplaced. At the same time, by providing the two ends of the terminal body with a four-sided pyramid structure, it is possible to further facilitate the insertion of the terminal body into the connector socket.

[0013] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present invention, it can be implemented in accordance with the contents of the specification.

[0019] In order to make the content of the utility model more clearly understood, the utility model is further described below based on specific embodiments in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inner", "outer" and the like used herein to indicate directions or positional relationships are based on directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0021] Unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an industrial control connector signal terminal includes a terminal body 1, guide grooves 2 arranged on two opposite sides of the terminal body 1, and guide rails 3 arranged on the other two opposite sides. The two ends of the terminal body 1 are in a quadrangular pyramid structure.

[0023] In the present embodiment, the two end ends of the terminal body 1 are in the shape of a quadrangular pyramid, and since the plug-in hole of the connector is in the shape of a rectangle, the quadrangular pyramid shape can be provided to facilitate the insertion of the terminal body 1 into the connector, thereby preventing wrong insertion and crooked insertion. It should be noted that the terminal body 1 is in the shape of a quadrangular prism, and by providing guide grooves 2 on two surfaces of the terminal body 1, it can be conveniently adapted to the guide mechanism on the connector, thereby preventing crooked insertion. At the same time, guide rails 3 are provided on the other two surfaces of the terminal body 1, which can cooperate with the card slot of the connector, so that it can be adapted to the connector when crimping this embodiment, thereby facilitating the terminal body 1 to avoid crooked insertion when assembling it with the connector, thereby improving the plug-in efficiency.

[0024] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the end of the guide rail 3 close to one end of the terminal body 1 is in an arc shape, and the guide groove 2 extends from one end of the terminal body 1 to the middle of the terminal body 1.

[0025] In the present embodiment, by setting one end portion of the guide rail 3 (the end of the guide rail 3 plugged into the connector) into an arc shape, it is more convenient to insert the terminal body 1, and the guide groove 2 extends from one end of the terminal body 1 (the end plugged into the connector) to the middle of the terminal body 1. The above settings are all for better plugging, thereby avoiding the inability to insert due to the mismatch between the guide rail 3 or the guide groove 2 and the connector jack during plugging, thereby improving the yield rate of subsequent processes.

[0026] Optional, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the depth of the guide groove 2 gradually decreases from one end of the terminal body 1 to the middle of the terminal body 1 , and the height of the guide rail 3 gradually increases from one end of the terminal body 1 to the middle of the terminal body 1 .

[0027] In the present embodiment, the guide groove 2 is recessed in the end portion of the terminal body 1, and then gradually extends to the middle position of the terminal body 1. At this time, the height of the guide groove 2 is consistent with the height of the end face of the terminal body 1. Through such a setting, when the terminal body 1 is plugged into the connector, it can be limited by the limiting structure on the connector, and after reaching the specified position, the terminal body 1 can no longer be plugged in. Similarly, by gradually increasing the height of the guide rail 3 from one end of the terminal body 1 to the middle position of the terminal body 1, it can also be limited by the connector, thereby preventing the terminal body 1 from being over-inserted when it is plugged into the connector's jack.

[0028] Furthermore, a snap-in position 4 adapted to the connector is provided on the guide rail 3. After the terminal body 1 reaches a specified position depth, the snap-in position 4 is provided on the guide rail 3 so as to be adapted to the snap-in piece on the connector, thereby limiting the terminal body 1, thereby preventing the crimping machine from bringing out the terminal body 1 after crimping, and simultaneously preventing the signal terminal in the connector from being pulled out when the connector is connected to other electrical equipment, thereby increasing the service life of the product.

[0029] Optionally, the terminal body 1, the guide groove 2 and the guide rail 3 are all integrally formed. Through integral die-casting, the service life of this embodiment can be increased, the process complexity can be simplified, and the production cost can be reduced, thereby enriching this embodiment.

[0030] The embodiments of this specific implementation are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. The same components are represented by the same figure marks. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
