It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the devices and elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0033] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that in the present utility model, terms such as "first" and "second" are used to describe various information, but this information should not be limited to these terms, and these terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present utility model, the "first" information may also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, the "second" information may also be referred to as "first" information.
[0034] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 FIG. [not shown], an embodiment of the present utility model provides a plug-in junction box 100, which includes a male head 10 and a female socket 20. The male head 10 includes a first housing 11 and a first terminal 12 disposed in the first housing 11. The first housing 11 is provided with a first fixing seat 13 extending outward, and a first connecting piece 14 connecting the first terminal 12 is disposed in the first fixing seat 13; the female socket 20 includes a second housing 21 and a second terminal 22 disposed in the second housing 21. The second housing 21 is provided with a second fixing seat 23 facing the first fixing seat 13, and a second connecting piece 24 connecting the second terminal 22 is disposed in the second fixing seat 23; wherein, the first fixing seat 13 is inserted into the second fixing seat 23, and the first connecting piece 14 abuts against the second connecting piece 24 to electrically connect the first terminal 12 and the second terminal 22.
[0035] Based on the above technical solution, the first fixing seat 13 of the male head 10 and the second fixing seat 23 of the female socket 20 are connected by an insertion method. During the insertion process of the first fixing seat 13 and the second fixing seat 23, the first connecting piece 14 abuts against the second connecting piece 24, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the first terminal 12 of the male head 10 and the second terminal 22 in the female socket 20. This direct and fast connection method is simple and convenient to operate, which is beneficial to the quick plugging and wiring of the junction box and improves the installation efficiency of the junction box.
[0036] In this embodiment, the first fixing seat 13 can be inserted into the second fixing seat 23, or the second fixing seat 23 can be inserted into the first fixing seat 13, as long as the connection between the first connecting piece 14 and the second connecting piece 24 can be realized.
[0037] In this embodiment, the second terminal 22 includes a female socket terminal and a PCB board. The pins of the female socket terminal are inserted into the PCB board, so the female socket terminal and the PCB board can be regarded as an integral electrical component.
[0038] As an implementation manner, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 FIG. [not shown], the first fixing seat 13 is inserted into the second fixing seat 23.
[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second fixing seat 23 is designed as a socket cylinder, and the first fixing seat 13 is designed as a plug rod. The first fixing seat 13 (plug rod) is inserted into the second fixing seat 23 (socket cylinder). The gap between the plug rod and the socket cylinder can be designed to be very small. Align the plug rod with the socket cylinder and gently push it in, and the plugging process can be quickly completed, and the first connecting piece 14 abuts against the second connecting piece 24. The entire plugging process does not require any tools and can be completed with only both hands, further improving the installation efficiency of the junction box.
[0040] As an implementation manner, the inner wall of the first fixing seat 13 is provided with an abutting portion (not shown in the drawings). There is a gap between the abutting portion and the first connecting piece 14. The second connecting piece 24 is inserted into the gap, and the abutting portion abuts against the second connecting piece 24, so that the second connecting piece 24 abuts against the first connecting piece 14.
[0041] Specifically, the abutting portion can be a rib, a bump, a convex ring, a convex point or a rib structure. When the first fixing seat 13 is inserted into the second fixing seat 23, the second connecting piece 24 is inserted into the gap between the abutting portion and the first connecting piece 14 and comes into contact with the abutting portion and the first connecting piece 14. During the plugging process, the abutting portion will gradually contact and press the second connecting piece 24, so that the second connecting piece 24 closely abuts on the first connecting piece 14 to achieve the electrical connection between the two.
[0042] As an implementation manner, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, a protrusion 15 extending along the length direction of the first fixing seat 13 is provided on the outer wall of the first fixing seat 13, and a groove 25 extending along the length direction of the second fixing seat 23 is provided on the inner wall of the second fixing seat 23. The protrusion 15 is embedded in the groove 25.
[0043] Specifically, the mutual cooperation of the protrusion 15 and the groove 25 provides an accurate guide for the plugging process of the first fixing seat 13 and the second fixing seat 23. During the plugging process, the protrusion 15 slides along the track of the groove 25, so that the first fixing seat 13 can be accurately inserted into the second fixing seat 23. When the protrusion 15 is completely embedded in the groove 25, a tight plugging structure is achieved between the first fixing seat 13 and the second fixing seat 23.
[0044] It can be understood that after the protrusion 15 is embedded in the groove 25, a certain mechanical locking force will be generated between the two. This locking force helps to resist external tensile force and torsion force, preventing the first fixing seat 13 and the second fixing seat 23 from rotating relative to each other due to external force.
[0045] As an implementation manner, both the first connecting piece 14 and the second connecting piece 24 are copper sheets.
[0046] Specifically, the contact between the two copper connecting pieces is very reliable. The copper pieces have good ductility and plasticity, and can form a tight contact surface during the connection process, which helps to achieve the abutment of the second connecting piece 24 and the first connecting piece 14, and improves the stability of the electrical connection.
[0047] As an implementation manner, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a clamping interface 16 is provided at the edge of the first housing 11 close to the second housing 21, a clamping hook 26 is provided at the edge of the second housing 21 close to the first housing 11, the first housing 11 abuts against the second housing 21, and the clamping hook 26 is snapped into the clamping interface 16.
[0048] Specifically, after the clamping hook 26 is snapped into the clamping interface 16, a tight connection is formed between the first housing 11 and the second housing 21. This connection method helps to enhance the stability of the overall structure of the junction box. Through the snap-fit of the clamping hook 26 and the clamping interface 16, it is possible to prevent the first housing 11 and the second housing 21 from loosening or separating due to external forces during use.
[0049] During installation, only need to bring the first housing 11 close to the second housing 21 and snap the clamping hook 26 into the clamping interface 16 to complete the installation, without the need for complex tools or cumbersome steps. When it is necessary to maintain or replace components of the junction box, it can be disassembled by releasing the connection between the clamping hook 26 and the clamping interface 16.
[0050] In the current technology, the cover plate of the junction box is not reasonably designed, which causes inconvenience during the wiring process. The opening and closing of the cover plate are not smooth enough, and additional tools are required for auxiliary operation, increasing the installation difficulty and time cost.
[0051] As an implementation manner, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the first housing 11 includes a first base 111 and a first top cover 112 covering the first base 111; the clamping interface 16 is provided at the edge of the first base 111, and the first terminal 12 is provided on the first base 111; the first top cover 112 is reversibly connected to the first base 111.
[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first top cover 112 is covered on the first base 111, which can cover and protect the first terminal 12 on the first base 111. The first top cover 112 is reversibly connected to the first base 111, and the user can open the first top cover 112 without complex disassembly steps to check the first terminal 12 or other components on the first base 111.
[0053] As an implementation manner, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, a rotating shaft 113 is provided on one side of the first top cover 112 close to the second housing 21, and the first base 111 is provided with a mounting hole 114 corresponding to the rotating shaft 113. The rotating shaft 113 is rotatably connected to the mounting hole 114; a plug 115 is provided on the side of the first top cover 112 away from the second housing 21, and the first base 111 is provided with a jack 116 corresponding to the plug 115. The plug 115 is snap-connected to the jack 116.
[0054] Specifically, along the length direction of the first housing 11, a rotating shaft 113 is respectively provided on both sides of the rear end of the first top cover 112, and mounting holes 114 are respectively provided on both sides of the rear end of the first base 111. The rotating shaft 113 of the first top cover 112 is embedded in the mounting hole 114 of the first base 111 to realize the flip - over setting of the first top cover 112 and the first base 111. A plug 115 is provided at the front end of the first top cover 112, and a jack 116 is provided at the front end of the first base 111. When the first top cover 112 is covered on the first base 111, the plug 115 is inserted into the jack 116 to form a snap connection, thereby forming the overall structure of the first housing 11 composed of the first base 111 and the first top cover 112. When the first top cover 112 is rotated to the closed position, it can be firmly locked on the first base 111 to prevent accidental opening or loosening.
[0055] As an implementation manner, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the second housing 21 includes a second base 211 and a second top cover 212 covering the second base 211; a hook 26 is provided on the edge of the second top cover 212, and the second terminal 22 is provided on the second base 211; the second top cover 212 is snap - connected to the second base 211.
[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second top cover 212 is covered on the second base 211, which can cover and protect the second terminal 22 on the second base 211. A plurality of clamping portions are provided on the edge of the second top cover 212, and a plurality of clamping grooves are provided on the edge of the second base 211. Each clamping portion is correspondingly embedded in each clamping groove to realize the snap connection between the second top cover 212 and the second base 211.
[0057] As an implementation manner, both the first terminal 12 and the second terminal 22 include a live wire terminal, a neutral wire terminal, and a ground wire terminal.
[0058] Specifically, the live wire terminal is usually represented by the letter "L" and is used to connect the live wire in the electrical system. The neutral wire terminal is usually represented by the letter "N" and is used to connect the neutral wire in the electrical system. The ground wire terminal is used to connect the ground wire in the electrical system.
