AI Technical Summary
The existing cage springs do not have enough clamping force on the wire after frequent use, which can easily lead to loosening and falling off of the wire, and poor contact may lead to broken wires.
A cage spring including a spring horizontal part, an adjustment part, a reinforcement part, a butt part and a clamping part is designed. By setting the lower clamping teeth and the upper clamping teeth, the clamping area and strength of the wire are increased, and the special bending structure and angle design of the spring are ensured to ensure stable clamping of the wire.
It effectively improves the clamping force of the wire, ensures that the wire will not fall off after being inserted, increases safety, and avoids wire breakage caused by poor contact by increasing the contact area and strength.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of springs, in particular to a cage spring. Background Art
[0002] In the field of electrical connection, cage springs are often used in wiring terminals to fix and connect wires. For example, the cage spring described in the patent application number "202022411778.5" and the patent name "A cage spring for low-voltage electrical wiring module" includes a strip metal spring sheet that is bent and forms a closed loop, and a bayonet is provided at one end of the strip metal spring sheet, and the other end of the strip metal spring sheet passes through the bayonet and contacts with a side edge of the bayonet, and a blade surface is provided at the side edge of the bayonet. Although the blade surface theoretically improves the clamping force of the cage spring on the wire during operation, it is found in actual use that its clamping force on the wire is still lacking. Affected by frequent plugging and unplugging and the weakening of the elastic force of the cage spring, it is easy to cause the wire clamping point to loosen and fall off, and the stability is still poor. In addition, due to the small clamping contact area between the wire and the cage spring, the wire at the contact point is easy to break, resulting in poor contact, and further improvements and optimizations are made for this.

[0005] The spring reinforcing portion and the spring abutting portion are both arranged parallel to the spring horizontal portion.
[0006] The angle formed between the second spring clamping portion and the spring transition portion is greater than 90°.
[0007] The lower clamping teeth and the upper clamping teeth are both triangular structures, and the tooth height of the lower clamping teeth is greater than the tooth height of the upper clamping teeth.
[0008] The width of the second wire clamping part of the spring is smaller than the width of the spring reinforcing part, and the end of the spring reinforcing part is provided with a reinforcing part limiting groove for limiting the second wire clamping part of the spring.
[0009] The tooth height of the lower clamping teeth is 1 mm, and the tooth height of the upper clamping teeth is 0.6 mm.
[0010] The advantages of the cage spring of the utility model are: the spring reinforcement part can extend the contact area of the wire after clamping, and can strengthen the connection strength of the wire; the inserted wire can be turned and clamped between the end of the spring reinforcement part and the second wire clamping part of the spring; the lower clamping teeth and the upper clamping teeth are staggered and can strengthen the clamping force of the wire, so that the wire will not fall off after insertion, and the safety is higher.

[0015] like Figure 1-3As shown, the cage spring involved in the utility model comprises a spring horizontal portion 1, one end of the spring horizontal portion 1 is bent downward to form a spring adjustment portion 2 and a spring foot 3 in sequence, the other end of the spring horizontal portion 1 is bent inward to form a spring arc portion 4, a spring transition portion 5 and a spring docking portion 6 in sequence, the spring adjustment portion 2 is provided with a spring limiting opening 8 for the action of the spring docking portion 6, the spring adjustment portion 2 is bent inward at the lower end of the spring limiting opening 8 to form a spring reinforcement portion 9, a spring yielding opening 10 is provided on the spring transition portion 5, the spring transition portion 5 is bent downward at the spring yielding opening 10 to form a spring second clamping portion 11, a first clamping opening 13 for clamping a wire is formed between the spring docking portion 6 and the spring reinforcement portion 9, and a spring second clamping portion 11 and the end of the spring reinforcement portion 9 are formed. The second wire clamping opening, the contact point between the spring reinforcement part 9 and the spring docking part 6 is provided with lower clamping teeth 14 at intervals, and the spring docking part 6 is provided with upper clamping teeth 15 staggered with the lower clamping teeth 14 at intervals. The spring reinforcement part 9 can extend the contact area with the cage spring after the wire is clamped, and can strengthen the connection strength of the wire. The second wire clamping opening formed between the end of the spring reinforcement part 9 and the second wire clamping part 11 of the spring can turn and clamp the inserted wire, so that the wire will not fall off after insertion. The lower clamping teeth 14 and the upper clamping teeth 15 are staggered and can strengthen the clamping force of the wire, and the clamping is firm, so that the wire will not fall off after insertion, and the safety is higher.
[0016] The spring reinforcing portion 9 and the spring butting portion 6 are both arranged in parallel with the spring horizontal portion 1 , and parallel clamping can make the wire contact more stable.
[0017] The angle formed between the second wire clamping portion 11 of the spring and the spring transition portion 5 is greater than 90°, so that the spring inserted into the second wire clamping opening can be turned 180 degrees, and the anti-falling effect is better.
[0018] The lower clamping teeth 14 and the upper clamping teeth 15 are both triangular structures. The tooth height of the lower clamping teeth 14 is greater than the tooth height of the upper clamping teeth 15. The lower clamping teeth 14 play a main clamping role, and the upper clamping teeth 15 are auxiliary clamping. This design has a better clamping effect.
[0019] The width of the second spring clamping part 11 is smaller than the width of the spring reinforcing part 9. The end of the spring reinforcing part 9 is provided with a reinforcing part limiting groove 17 for limiting the second spring clamping part 11, which is more stable and reliable during docking.
[0020] The tooth height of the lower clamping teeth 14 is 1 mm, and the tooth height of the upper clamping teeth 15 is 0.6 mm.
