[0027] Embodiment: An anti-drop terminal block structure includes a first terminal block 1 and a second terminal block 2, wherein the terminal block welding leg extends in a downward direction, and a side wall of the first terminal block 1 perpendicular to the lower side surface and a side wall of the second terminal block 2 perpendicular to the lower side surface fit together, and is characterized in that a first fastener extending in a horizontal direction is provided on one side wall of the first terminal block 1, and a second fastener extending in a horizontal direction is provided on one side wall of the second terminal block 2, and the first fastener and the second fastener are horizontally plugged in and connected.

[0028] The first terminal block 1 and the second terminal block 2 are fastened together by the first fastener and the second fastener, thereby avoiding the use of glue and making the product more environmentally friendly. The fastening connection structure makes the combination process of the two terminal blocks simpler and the assembly more convenient, thereby realizing the rapid splicing of the two terminal blocks, saving time and materials, and the connection is firm and stable. The first terminal block 1 and the second terminal block 2 are not easy to separate during use.

[0029] The first fastener on the side wall of the first terminal block 1 includes an outwardly protruding L-shaped limit hook 11, and the second fastener on the side wall of the second terminal block 2 includes a first open slot 21 with an internal size larger than the opening size. The L-shaped limit hook 11 can be inserted into the first open slot 21, and the first terminal block 1 and the second terminal block 2 can move relative to each other along the plane where the two are attached for a distance so that the side wall of the L-shaped limit hook 11 can be stopped on the inner side wall of the first open slot 21, thereby preventing the first terminal block 1 and the second terminal block 2 from separating. During assembly, the L-shaped limit hook 11 is first inserted into the first open slot 21 in an inclined state, and then the first terminal block 1 is rotated so that the side wall of the first terminal block 1 gradually sticks to the side wall of the second terminal block 2, and the side wall of the L-shaped limit hook 11 will hook the inner side wall of the first open slot 21.

[0030] The first fastener also includes an outer convex lock buckle 12 arranged at intervals with the L-shaped limit hook 11, and the second fastener also includes a second open slot 22 arranged at intervals with the first open slot 21. The outer convex lock buckle 12 can be inserted into the second open slot 22 to prevent the first terminal block 1 and the second terminal block 2 from moving relative to each other along the plane where the two are attached. When the L-shaped limit hook 11 is inserted into the first open slot 21, the L-shaped limit hook 11 hooks the inner side wall of an open slot, and then the outer convex lock buckle 12 is inserted and fixed with the second open slot 22 to limit the hook position of the L-shaped limit hook 11, ensuring that the L-shaped limit hook 11 is hooked to the inner side of the first open slot 21, and is in a hooked stable position state unchanged, thereby achieving a stable connection between the first terminal block 1 and the second terminal block 2.

[0031] The outer convex lock buckle 12 and the second opening slot 22 can be connected in a stop manner to prevent the outer convex lock buckle 12 from exiting the second opening slot 22. The outer convex lock buckle 12 and the second opening slot 22 can be stopped and positioned by interference fit, or can be fixed and positioned by buckle buckle connection.

[0032] The outer convex lock buckle 12 is an L-shaped structure whose opening direction is opposite to the opening direction of the L-shaped limit hook 11. The inner dimension of the second opening slot 22 is larger than the opening dimension (L-shaped structure or T-shaped structure). The side wall of the outer convex lock buckle 12 facing away from the L-shaped limit hook 11 contacts the opening side wall of the second opening slot 22 through an inclined chamfered surface (121). When the outer convex lock buckle 12 is inserted into the second opening slot 22 under the action of an external force, the first terminal block 1 is guided by the chamfered surface to move relative to the second terminal block 2 toward the opening direction of the L-shaped limit hook 11. The outer convex lock buckle 12 adopts an L-shaped structure, and its opening direction is opposite to the opening direction of the L-shaped limit hook 11. In this way, when the outer convex lock buckle is inserted into the second opening slot 22, the L-shaped limit hook 11 is automatically positioned at a position to hook the side wall of the first opening slot 21, thereby realizing the locking and positioning of the connection between the first terminal block 1 and the second terminal block 2, and ensuring that the first terminal block 1 and the second terminal block 2 are firmly and stably connected.

[0033] The second opening slot 22 includes a groove structure 221 and a stop bar 222. The groove structure 221 is integrally formed on the side wall of the second terminal block 2 facing the first terminal block 1. The stop bar 222 is integrally formed and convexly arranged on the side wall of the second terminal block 2 facing the first terminal block 1, and the stop bar 222 spans the opening of the groove structure 221. The side wall of the outer convex lock buckle 12 facing away from the L-shaped limit hook 11 contacts the stop bar 222 through an inclined chamfered surface. A horizontal step surface is formed on one side wall of the first terminal block 1, and the stop bar 222 stops on the upper side of the step surface on one side wall of the first terminal block 1. This structure can realize the function of the outer convex lock buckle 12 and the second opening slot 22 being engaged and connected, and can also realize the blocking and limiting of the first terminal block 1 on the upper side, thereby improving the connection stability between the first terminal block 1 and the second terminal block 2.

[0034] The side wall of the second terminal block 2 is a step structure in which the thickness of one end of the second terminal block 2 along the opening direction of the L-shaped structure of the convex lock buckle 12 is greater than the thickness of the other end. The groove structure 221 is integrally formed on the thicker side wall of the second terminal block 2, and the groove structure 221 also forms a hollow opening 223 on the step surface of the step structure. The hollow opening 223 is formed on the step surface of the second terminal block 2, and can be directly opposite to the side wall of the L-shaped structure of the convex lock buckle 12 on the first terminal block 1. When the first terminal block 1 needs to be disassembled, the convex lock buckle 12 can be pressed down through the hollow opening 223 with a tool for disassembly.

[0035] The outer edge of the corner of the L-shaped limit hook 11 is a chamfered structure. When a side wall of the L-shaped limit hook 11 is inserted into the first opening slot 21, the chamfered structure plays a guiding role to prevent the outer corner of the L-shaped limit hook 11 from interfering with the upper side wall of the first opening slot 21.

[0036] The inner edge of the end of one side wall of the L-shaped limit hook 11 is a chamfered structure. When the first terminal block 1 and the second terminal block 2 are spliced, the side wall of the L-shaped limit hook 11 is first inserted into the first opening slot 21 in an inclined state, and the chamfered structure contacts the first opening slot 21 to achieve a guiding effect, so that the side wall of the L-shaped limit hook 11 is smoothly inserted into the first opening slot 21; when the first terminal block 1 and the second terminal block 2 need to be separated, when the L-shaped limit hook 11 is withdrawn from the first opening slot 21, the chamfered structure contacts the first opening slot 21 to ensure smooth withdrawal and avoid interference.

[0037] The first fastener is at least two matching grooves 13 with opening sizes smaller than the internal size arranged at intervals on one side wall of the first terminal block 1, and the second fastener is at least two splicing columns 23 with end sizes larger than the root size arranged at intervals on one side wall of the second terminal block 2;

[0038] Alternatively, the first fastener is at least two splicing columns 23 with end sizes larger than root sizes arranged at intervals on one side wall of the first terminal block 1, and the second fastener is at least two matching grooves 13 with opening sizes smaller than internal sizes arranged at intervals on one side wall of the second terminal block 2;

[0039] The splicing column 23 can be inserted into the matching groove 13 , and the end of the splicing column 23 stops on the inner step surface of the matching groove 13 .

[0040] The first terminal block 1 and the second terminal block 2 are plugged and fixedly connected with the splicing column 23 through the matching groove 13 to prevent the first terminal block 1 and the second terminal block 2 from falling off and separating.
