[0035] The specific structure of a wiring terminal provided by an embodiment of the utility model and the corresponding technical effects thereof are described in detail below in conjunction with the patent drawings.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 A wiring terminal 200 provided in an embodiment of the utility model is used to be installed in a light bar frame 100. It should be noted that in some existing technologies, the light bar frames 100 in some different light bars 1 are also different. The light bar frame 100 has an installation space 101, and a first matching portion 130 or a second matching portion 140 is arranged in the installation space 101. It should be noted that one of the first matching portion 130 and the second matching portion 140 is a clamping rib, and the other of the first matching portion 130 and the second matching portion 140 will form a plug-in groove with the inner wall of the installation space 101.

[0037] However, the adaptability of the existing terminals is poor and cannot be adapted to different light bar frames 100 . Therefore, in order to adapt to different frames, different terminals need to be manufactured for adaptation.

[0038] The wiring terminal 200 in this embodiment includes a main body 210, and the main body 210 is provided with a first connecting portion 220 and a second connecting portion 230. The first connecting portion 220 is used to connect with the first matching portion 130, and the second connecting portion 230 is used to connect with the second matching portion 140. One of the first connecting portion 220 and the second connecting portion 230 is a plug-in protrusion, and the other of the first connecting portion 220 and the second connecting portion 230 is a snap-in groove. It can be understood that when there is a plug-in groove in the installation space 101, the plug-in protrusion can be used to achieve plug-in cooperation with it to complete the plug-in of the wiring terminal 200 and the light bar frame 100. When snap-in ribs are provided in the installation space 101, the snap-in connection can be achieved with the snap-in groove on the main body 210 through the snap-in ribs. That is, no matter whether the first matching part 130 or the second matching part 140 is set in the light bar frame 100, the terminal 200 can cooperate therewith through the first connecting part 220 or the second connecting part 230, thereby improving the versatility of the terminal 200 and being able to adapt to different light bar frames 100.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first connection portion 220 is a plug-in protrusion, the second connection portion 230 is a clamping groove, the number of the first connection portions 220 is two, and the two first connection portions 220 are arranged on both sides of the body 210 along the width direction of the body 210. It can be understood that since the body 210 is provided with plug-in protrusions on both sides in its width direction, it can ensure that both sides of the connection terminal 200 in the width direction are stably plugged into the installation space 101.

[0040] And the second connecting part 230 is arranged on the first connecting part 220 and extends along the extension direction of the first connecting part 220, that is, the snap-in groove is arranged on the plug-in protrusion, that is, when a snap-in rib is arranged in the installation space 101 of the light bar outer frame 100, the snap-in rib can be directly plugged into the snap-in groove of the plug-in protrusion, and at this time, the outer wall of the plug-in protrusion can also abut against the inner wall of the installation space 101, thereby achieving the stability of the connection between the terminal 200 and the light bar outer frame 100.

[0041] In detail, the plug-in protrusion extends along the length direction of the main body 210, the second connecting portion 230 also extends along the length direction of the main body 210, and the second connecting portion 230 is provided on the side of the two first connecting portions 220 that are opposite to each other, that is, a snap-in groove is provided on the side of one of the plug-in protrusions away from the other plug-in protrusion.

[0042] It can be understood that the two sides of the plug-in protrusions facing away from each other are both provided with a second connecting portion 230, and extend along the length direction of the main body 210. Therefore, when connected with the snap-in ribs in the light bar outer frame 100, the assembly of the snap-in ribs and the plug-in grooves can be completed simultaneously during the process of inserting the main body 210 into the installation space 101.

[0043] In the height direction of the main body 210 , the main body 210 has a first end 211 and a second end 212 relative to each other, and the second connection portion 230 is located between the first end 211 and the second end 212 . Of course, in some other embodiments, the second connection portion 230 can also be arranged on the first end 211 or the second end 212 of the main body 210 .

[0044] In detail, the side of the first connecting portion 220 close to the first end 211 is used to abut against the end face of the light bar outer frame 100. It should be noted that, usually, the light bar outer frame 100 includes an end plate 110 and two side plates 120 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the end plate 110. The two side plates 120 and the end plate 110 jointly define the installation space 101. The end face of the light bar outer frame 100 can be understood as a side of the end plate 110 located in the installation space 101. The second connecting portion 230 is close to the first end 211 in the height direction of the main body 210. That is to say, when the side wall of the light bar outer frame 100 is also light-transmitting, since the second connecting portion 230 is close to the first end 211 in the height direction of the main body 210, when the main body 210 is assembled with the light bar outer frame 100, the second connecting portion 230 is also relatively close to the end plate 110. Therefore, the influence of the second connecting portion 230 and the clamping ribs on the outer light transmission can be reduced, that is, the generation of light transmission shadows on both sides can be reduced.

[0045] In this embodiment, the terminal block 200 also includes a plug 240, which includes an end cover 241 and two connecting plates 242 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the end cover 241. Along the length direction of the main body 210, the main body 210 has a front end 213 and a terminal end 214 relative to each other. The first connecting portion 220 is close to the front end 213 of the main body 210, and a matching notch 222 is provided between the end of the first connecting portion 220 close to the terminal end 214 and the terminal end 214, that is, a step structure is formed between the end of the first connecting portion 220 close to the terminal end 214 and the terminal end 214. When the terminal block 200 is plugged into the installation space 101, the two connecting plates 242 are respectively abutted against the two side walls of the installation space 101 and are opposite to the two matching notches 222. At this time, the end cover 241 is used to seal the end of the installation space 101 in its own length direction.

[0046] It can be understood that during the assembly process of the terminal block 200 and the light bar frame 100, the main body 210 is first inserted into the installation space 101 of the light bar frame 100 from the end of the light bar frame 100. Since the main body 210 has a matching notch 222, when the light bar 1 needs a plug 240, that is, when the light bar 1 needs to seal the end of the installation space 101, the plug 240 can be inserted from the matching notch 222. After the plug 240 is inserted into the installation space 101, the two connecting plates 242 have an interference fit with the installation space 101, that is, the size of the two connecting plates 242 in the width direction is larger than the size of the installation space 101 in the width direction.

[0047] The two connecting plates 242 have a first guide portion 2421 on one side facing away from each other. The first guide portion 2421 is located at an end away from the end cover 241. The first guide portions 2421 of the two connecting plates 242 gradually approach each other in a direction away from the end cover 241. That is to say, the first guide portion 2421 can facilitate the assembly of the plug 240 and the light bar frame 100.

[0048] In detail, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate the insertion of the first connection part 220 into the installation space 101, the first connection part 220 is provided with a second guide part 221 at one end close to the front end 213, and the width dimension of the second guide part 221 is reduced in the direction in which the end 214 is close to the front end 213. In other words, in the direction in which the end 214 is close to the front end 213, the second guide part 221 of one of the two first connection parts 220 on both sides of the body 210 gradually approaches the other first connection part 220.

[0049] The embodiment of the utility model further provides a light bar 1, comprising a light bar outer frame 100, the light bar 1 and the above-mentioned connection terminal 200.

[0050] In some optional embodiments, please refer to Figure 1, wherein a first matching portion 130 is disposed on one opposite side of the two side plates 120 , and the first matching portion 130 is connected to the first connecting portion 220 .

[0051] In some other optional embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 A second matching portion 140 is disposed on one opposite side of the two side plates 120 , and the second matching portion 140 is connected to the second connecting portion 230 .

[0052] In summary, the embodiment of the utility model provides a light bar 1 and a terminal block 200, the light bar 1 includes the terminal block 200, the terminal block 200 includes a body 210, the body 210 is provided with a first connection part 220 and a second connection part 230, the first connection part 220 is used to connect with the first matching part 130, the second connection part 230 is used to connect with the second matching part 140, one of the first connection part 220 and the second connection part 230 is a plug-in protrusion, and the other of the first connection part 220 and the second connection part 230 is a snap-in groove. When there is a plug-in groove in the installation space 101, the plug-in protrusion can be used to realize plug-in cooperation with it to complete the plug-in of the terminal block 200 and the light bar outer frame 100. When snap-in ribs are provided in the installation space 101, the snap-in can be realized with the snap-in groove on the body 210 through the snap-in ribs. That is, no matter whether the first matching part 130 or the second matching part 140 is set in the light bar frame 100, the terminal 200 can cooperate therewith through the first connecting part 220 or the second connecting part 230, thereby improving the versatility of the terminal 200 and being able to adapt to different light bar frames 100.

[0053] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes.
