Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electrical connectors, in particular to a grounding body and a terminal block. Background Art
[0002] The terminal block, also known as a rail terminal, mainly includes a housing and a grounding body. The grounding body ensures the safety performance of the rail terminal when it is installed on the rail strip. Such terminal blocks are generally used for grounding protection in the power grid. There may be a loose connection between the grounding body and the rail in the existing terminal blocks, and their ability to withstand large currents is poor; when the power grid current is unstable, such as when there is an instantaneous large current passing through the terminal block and flowing to the grounding protection rail strip, both the terminal block and the rail strip cooperating with it are easily burned out; this will cause a bad user experience, such as affecting the stability, reliability, and safety of the user's power grid system and equipment; in severe cases, it may cause fires and major safety accidents. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] In order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a grounding body, the buckle structure on which can clamp an external rail in a first direction and a second direction, and can increase the electrical contacts with the external rail, making the connection between the grounding body and the external rail more reliable, and capable of withstanding a larger current. The utility model also provides a terminal block.
[0004] To achieve the above object, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions to implement:
[0005] A grounding body for mating with and contacting an external rail, comprising a grounding body base structure and a buckle structure for engaging with a clamping edge of the external rail, the buckle structure being connected to the grounding body base structure; the buckle structure includes a first buckle portion, a second buckle portion, and a third buckle portion;
[0006] The first buckle portion and the second buckle portion are spaced apart in a first direction, the distance between the first buckle portion and the second buckle portion in the first direction under normal conditions is less than the thickness of the clamping edge, and the first buckle portion has a tendency to move towards the second buckle portion side when moving away from the second buckle portion compared to the normal state, and / or the second buckle portion has a tendency to move towards the first buckle portion side when moving away from the first buckle portion compared to the normal state; the third buckle portion is disposed on one side of the second buckle portion, and the third buckle portion has a tendency to cooperate with and tightly press the side surface of the clamping edge in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction when the buckle structure engages with the clamping edge of the external rail.
[0007] The first buckle part and the second buckle part in the normal state can be understood as: when the first buckle part and the second buckle part are not subject to other external forces, that is, when the grounding body is not installed on the external track, the states of the first buckle part and the second buckle part.
[0008] With the above structure, when the grounding body is installed on the external track, the buckle structure will engage with the clamping edge on the external track. At this time, since the clamping edge is inserted between the first buckle part and the second buckle part, causing the first buckle part and the second buckle part to move away from each other compared to the normal state, the first buckle part and / or the second buckle part has a tendency to approach each other. This makes the first buckle part cooperate with and tightly press against the side of the clamping edge facing the first buckle part in the first direction, and the second buckle part cooperate with and tightly press against the side of the clamping edge facing the second buckle part in the first direction. At the same time, the third buckle part tightly presses against the side of the clamping edge in the second direction; the above structure enables the grounding body to clamp the clamping edge of the external track in the first direction and the second direction when installed on the external track, making the grounding body more reliably installed on the external track and effectively avoiding the loose connection between the grounding body and the external track; at the same time, the first buckle part, the second buckle part, and the third buckle part in each buckle structure tightly press against the external track, which can greatly increase the contact points between the grounding body and the external track to better achieve electrical contact between the two, especially when carrying a large current.
[0009] Specifically, the first direction is the longitudinal direction along the height of the grounding body, and the second direction is the transverse direction along the width of the grounding body.
[0010] Furthermore, the buckle structure includes an elastic arm. The first buckle part is arranged on the base structure of the grounding body. One end of the elastic arm is connected to the base structure of the grounding body to form an elastic arm connection end, and the other end forms an elastic arm free end. And the elastic arm can undergo elastic deformation in the first direction and the second direction; the second buckle part and the third buckle part are arranged on the elastic arm free end.
[0011] With the above structure, relying on the elasticity of the elastic arm, the second buckle part and the third buckle part arranged on the elastic arm free end can move relatively in the first direction and the second direction and have a tendency to move towards the side of restoring the original position. Thus, when the second buckle part moves away from the first buckle part in the first direction compared to the normal state, it has a tendency to move towards the side close to the first buckle part, and when the buckle structure engages with the clamping edge of the external track, the third buckle part moves in the second direction and thus has a tendency to tightly press against the side of the clamping edge in the second direction.
[0012] Further, the grounding body includes a snap - fitting portion disposed at a distance from the third snap - fitting portion in the second direction, and the snap - fitting portion is used to cooperate with a rail - fitting portion in an external rail that is opposite to the clamping edge;
[0013] When the grounding body is in mating contact with the external rail, the third snap - fitting portion is opposite to the outer side surface of the clamping edge, and the snap - fitting portion is opposite to the outer side surface of the rail - fitting portion. The distance between the third snap - fitting portion and the snap - fitting portion in the normal state is less than the distance between the outer side surface of the clamping edge and the outer side surface of the rail - fitting portion;
[0014] Or, when the grounding body is in mating contact with the external rail, the third snap - fitting portion is opposite to the outer side surface of the clamping edge, and the snap - fitting portion is opposite to the inner side surface of the rail - fitting portion. The distance between the third snap - fitting portion and the snap - fitting portion in the normal state is less than the distance between the outer side surface of the clamping edge and the outer side surface of the rail - fitting portion;
[0015] Or, when the grounding body is in mating contact with the external rail, the third snap - fitting portion is opposite to the inner side surface of the clamping edge, and the snap - fitting portion is opposite to the inner side surface of the rail - fitting portion. The distance between the third snap - fitting portion and the snap - fitting portion in the normal state is greater than the distance between the outer side surface of the clamping edge and the outer side surface of the rail - fitting portion.
[0016] Specifically, the normal state of the third snap - fitting portion can be understood as: when the third snap - fitting portion is not affected by other external forces, that is, when the grounding body is not installed on the external rail, the state of the third snap - fitting portion.
[0017] With the above - mentioned structure, when the grounding body is installed on the external rail, the distance between the third snap - fitting portion and the snap - fitting portion in the second direction changes compared with the normal state, that is, the third snap - fitting portion moves in the second direction compared with the normal state. Therefore, under the action of the elastic arm, the third snap - fitting portion has a tendency to move towards the side of restoring the original position, so as to cooperate with the snap - fitting portion, realizing that the third snap - fitting portion tightly presses the side surface of the clamping edge in the second direction; of course, the snap - fitting portion can be arranged on the base structure of the grounding body or on the housing for installing the grounding body; preferably, when the grounding body is in mating contact with the external rail, the third snap - fitting portion is opposite to the outer side surface of the clamping edge, and the snap - fitting portion is opposite to the outer side surface of the rail - fitting portion, and the snap - fitting portion is arranged on the base structure of the grounding body to increase the number of electrical contact points with the external rail.
[0018] Further, the elastic arm has an arc - shaped structure.
[0019] With the above structure, the structural design of the elastic arm is more reasonable, making its elastic deformation ability and corresponding elastic force better, and the lever arm is not easily yielded; and it is beneficial to enhance the strong current-carrying ability of the grounding body.
[0020] Further, the connecting end of the elastic arm is connected to the side of the grounding body base structure away from the first snap portion, and the free end of the elastic arm is located below the first snap portion in the first direction.
[0021] With the above structure, the arrangement of the elastic arm is more reasonable. The connecting end of the elastic arm is connected to the side of the grounding body base structure away from the first snap portion, so that the elastic arm has more bending and extending space in the first direction, facilitating the arrangement of the elastic arm to achieve better elastic deformation ability and corresponding elastic force of the elastic arm, and being beneficial to making the lever arm of the elastic arm not easily yield.
[0022] Further, the elastic arm includes a first elastic arm and a second elastic arm. One end of the first elastic arm forms the connecting end of the elastic arm, and the other end is connected to one end of the second elastic arm. The other end of the second elastic arm forms the free end of the elastic arm; the first elastic arm gradually extends away from the grounding body base structure side along the second direction and bends toward the first snap portion side in the first direction, and the second elastic arm gradually extends toward the grounding body base structure side along the second direction and bends away from the connecting end of the elastic arm side in the first direction.
[0023] With the above structure, the structural arrangement of the elastic arm is more reasonable, making it have better elastic deformation ability and corresponding better elastic force; and the lever arm is not easily yielded, and it can be more reliably connected to the external guide rail.
[0024] Further, the average bending curvature of the first elastic arm is less than the average bending curvature of the second elastic arm.
[0025] With the above structure, the elastic arm is more likely to be in a large arc shape structure. While being able to better achieve the strong current-carrying ability, its elastic deformation ability and corresponding elastic force are better, and the lever arm is not easily yielded; it can be more reliably connected to the current-carrying body and the guide rail strip.
[0026] Further, clamping edges are provided on both opposite sides of the external track, namely a first clamping edge and a second clamping edge; correspondingly, two of the snap structures are provided on the grounding body in the second direction, namely a first snap structure for engaging with the first clamping edge and a second snap structure for engaging with the second clamping edge.
[0027] With the above structure, the structure of the grounding body is more reasonable. The cooperation between the first buckle structure and the first clamping edge can have three electrical contacts, and the cooperation between the second buckle structure and the second clamping edge can have three electrical contacts. When a grounding body is installed on the external track, there are six contact points, which can make the grounding body better clamp the external guide rail, enhance the connection strength between the two, avoid the virtual connection between the two, ensure the reliability of the electrical connection between the two, and is beneficial to achieving a strong current-carrying capacity. Specifically, the third buckle in the first buckle structure is formed as a buckle mating part that is oppositely arranged in the second direction with the third buckle part in the second buckle structure. Correspondingly, the third buckle in the second buckle structure is formed as a buckle mating part that is oppositely arranged in the second direction with the third buckle part in the first buckle structure. The first clamping edge is formed as a track mating part opposite to the second clamping edge. Correspondingly, the second clamping edge is formed as a track mating part opposite to the first clamping edge.
[0028] Further, at least one of the first buckle part, the second buckle part, and the third buckle part in the first buckle structure is formed as a sharp contact point with a sharp angle; and / or at least one of the first buckle part, the second buckle part, and the third buckle part in the second buckle structure is formed as a sharp contact point with a sharp angle.
[0029] With the above structure, when the grounding body is installed on the external track, the sharp angle of the sharp contact point can contact the surface of the external guide rail, and it is easier to pierce the oxide layer or contaminants with a higher surface resistance on the surface of the external guide rail, so as to achieve closer contact between the two, that is, the contact resistance between the two is lower and the electrical conductivity is better. Even if there is an oxide layer or slight contaminants on the surface of the connected external guide rail, the electrical connection is still reliable. Specifically, the first buckle part in the first buckle structure is formed as a sharp contact point with a sharp angle.
[0030] Further, in the first buckle structure, its second buckle part is located below its first buckle part in the first direction, and the side of its second buckle part far from its third buckle part in the second direction gradually inclines away from the second buckle structure side along the direction from its first buckle part to its second buckle part;
[0031] In the second buckle structure, its second buckle part is located below its first buckle part in the first direction, and the side of its second buckle part far from its third buckle part in the second direction gradually inclines towards the second buckle structure side along the direction from its first buckle part to its second buckle part.
[0032] By adopting the above structure, when installing the grounding body to the external rail, the second snapping edge of the external rail can be first aligned between the first snapping part and the second snapping part in the second snapping structure; the grounding body and the external rail are relatively moved in the second direction, and due to the inclined setting of the second snapping part in the second snapping structure, the second snapping edge can more easily and conveniently enter between the first snapping part and the second snapping part in the second snapping structure; then the first snapping structure side of the grounding body is pressed down along the first direction, and due to the inclined setting of the second snapping part in the first snapping structure, the first snapping edge acts on the second snapping part, so that the elastic arm in the first snapping structure is deformed so that the first snapping edge can be snapped into the first snapping structure; the above structure can more conveniently install the grounding body on the external rail, which is easy to operate.
[0033] Further, when the grounding body is in a state of being in contact with the external rail, the side of the grounding body base structure facing the external rail is formed as a first side, and the side away from the external rail is formed as a second side, the middle part of the first side is bent and convex along the direction from the second side to the first side, and the two sides are bent and concave along the direction from the first side to the second side, and the middle part of the second side is bent and concave along the direction from the second side to the first side, and the two sides are bent and convex along the direction from the first side to the second side.
[0034] By adopting the above structure, the first side and the second side of the base structure of the grounding body present a multi-curve profile, which can enable it to better connect with the elastic arm in the snap structure and can well realize the large cross-section of the grounding body, which is more conducive to realizing the strong current-carrying capacity of the grounding body.
[0035] Furthermore, the grounding body base structure is formed into a first assembly side and a second assembly side on both sides in its thickness direction, the first assembly side is provided with a first connecting structure, and the second assembly side is provided with a second connecting structure at a corresponding position that can be connected and cooperated with the first connecting structure.
[0036] With the above structure, the setting of the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure facilitates stacking of multiple grounding bodies along their thickness direction; the adjacent grounding bodies are connected through the cooperation of the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure, so that the multiple grounding bodies are better positioned and fixedly connected.
[0037] Further, one of the first connection structure and the second connection structure is configured as a connection protrusion protruding outward, and the other of the first connection structure and the second connection structure is configured as a connection groove matching the connection protrusion.
[0038] With the above structure, when multiple said grounding bodies are stacked, the connecting protrusions on one of two adjacent said grounding bodies can be snapped into the connecting grooves on the other, realizing the positioning and fixed connection between the two.
[0039] Further, a second current-carrying connection part that mates with the first current-carrying connection part on the current-carrying body is provided on the grounding body base structure.
[0040] With the above structure, it is convenient for the connection between the grounding body and the current-carrying body.
[0041] Further, one of the first current-carrying connection part and the second current-carrying connection part is configured as a connection block, and the other of the first current-carrying connection part and the second current-carrying connection part is configured as a connection hole that matches the connection block; the height of the connection block is greater than the depth of the connection hole.
[0042] With the above structure, the setting of the connection block and the connection hole facilitates the tight and reliable connection between the grounding body and the current-carrying body through riveting, that is, the contact resistance between the two is lower and the electrical conductivity is better; specifically, the first current-carrying connection part is configured as a connection hole, and the second current-carrying connection part is configured as a connection block.
[0043] Further, one or more first current-carrying connection parts are provided, and correspondingly, the number of the second current-carrying connection parts provided is matched with the number of the first current-carrying connection parts.
[0044] With the above structure, when multiple first current-carrying connection parts and second current-carrying connection parts are provided, the connection contacts between the grounding body and the current-carrying body can be increased, and the stable and reliable connection between the two can be increased, and the electrical conductivity between the two is better.
[0045] Further, positioning and fixing feet are provided on the grounding body, and the positioning and fixing feet are arranged on one side of the grounding body in the second direction and extend outward along the second direction.
[0046] With the above structure, the setting of the fixing feet facilitates the positioning and installation of the grounding body on the housing.
[0047] A terminal block, which is used for installation on an external track, includes a current-carrying body and the above-mentioned grounding body, and the current-carrying body is connected to the grounding body.
[0048] With the above structure, the grounding body in the terminal block can clamp the external rail in the first direction and the second direction, and has elastic clamping force with multiple contact points to clamp the external rail, avoiding the virtual connection between the two, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the grounding body and the external rail, so as to better achieve the electrical contact between the two, especially in the case of bearing large current.
[0049] Further, one or more grounding bodies are provided. When multiple grounding bodies are provided, the multiple grounding bodies are stacked along their thickness.
[0050] With the above structure, when multiple grounding bodies are provided, the number of electrical contact points between the terminal block and the external rail can be greatly increased, enhancing the reliable electrical connection between the two, and at the same time increasing the overall mechanical connection strength.
[0051] Further, the terminal block includes a housing, and the current-carrying body and the grounding body are arranged on the housing.
[0052] With the above structure, the structure of the terminal block is more reasonable. The setting of the housing provides an installation basis for the setting of the current-carrying body and the grounding body, and the housing is an insulating housing to ensure the safety of use.
[0053] Further, when the housing cooperates with the external rail, an elastic clip for clamping one side of the external rail and a clip mating part for clamping the other side of the external rail are provided on the side facing the external rail. The elastic clip and the clip mating part are arranged at a distance in the second direction, and the elastic clip has a tendency to cooperate and press the external rail tightly when the terminal block is installed on the external rail.

[0055] Further, the elastic clip and the clip mating part are respectively clamped with the outer sides of both sides of the external rail. The distance between the elastic clip and the clip mating part in the normal state is less than the distance between the outer sides of both sides of the external rail; the elastic clip has a tendency to move towards the side close to the clip mating part when it is farther away from the clip mating part than in the normal state.
[0056] With the above structure, the structural setting of the elastic clip and the clip mating part is more reasonable, ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0083] The following describes the technical solutions provided by each embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0084] Refer to Figures 1 to 6 , the present utility model provides a grounding body 30, which is used to cooperate with and contact an external track 10, and includes a grounding body base structure 1 and a buckle structure 2 for engaging with a clamping edge 10-1 of the external track 10. The buckle structure 2 is connected to the grounding body base structure 1; the buckle structure 2 includes a first buckle portion 201, a second buckle portion 202 and a third buckle portion 203;
[0085] The first buckle portion 201 and the second buckle portion 202 are arranged at a distance in a first direction. The distance between the first buckle portion 201 and the second buckle portion 202 in the first direction under normal conditions is less than the thickness of the clamping edge 10-1, and the first buckle portion 201 has a tendency to move towards the second buckle portion 202 side when moving away from the second buckle portion 202 compared with the normal state, and / or the second buckle portion 202 has a tendency to move towards the first buckle portion 201 side when moving away from the first buckle portion 201 compared with the normal state; the third buckle portion 203 is arranged on one side of the second buckle portion 202, and the third buckle portion 203 has a tendency to cooperate with and tightly press the side surface of the clamping edge 10-1 in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction when the buckle structure 2 is engaged with the clamping edge 10-1 of the external track 10.
[0086] The normal state of the first buckle portion 201 and the second buckle portion 202 can be understood as: the state of the first buckle portion 201 and the second buckle portion 202 when the first buckle portion 201 and the second buckle portion 202 are not subject to other external forces, that is, when the grounding body 30 is not installed on the external track 10.
[0087] With the above structure, when the grounding body 30 is installed on the external track 10, the buckle structure 2 will engage with the clamping edge 10-1 on the external track 10. At this time, since the clamping edge 10-1 is inserted between the first buckle portion 201 and the second buckle portion 202, the first buckle portion 201 and the second buckle portion 202 are farther apart from each other than in the normal state. The first buckle portion 201 and / or the second buckle portion 202 has a tendency to approach each other, so that the first buckle portion 201 cooperates with and tightly presses the side of the clamping edge 10-1 facing the first buckle portion 201 in the first direction, and the second buckle portion 202 cooperates with and tightly presses the side of the clamping edge 10-1 facing the second buckle portion 202 in the first direction. At the same time, the third buckle portion 203 cooperates with and tightly presses the side of the clamping edge 10-1 in the second direction. The above structure enables the grounding body 30 to clamp the clamping edge 10-1 of the external track 10 in the first direction and the second direction when the grounding body 30 is installed on the external track 10, so that the grounding body 30 can be installed on the external track 10 more reliably, and effectively avoid the loose connection between the grounding body 30 and the external track 10. At the same time, the first buckle portion 201, the second buckle portion 202, and the third buckle portion 203 in each buckle structure 2 are all in tight contact with the external track 10, which can greatly increase the contact points between the grounding body 30 and the external track 10, so as to better achieve the electrical contact between the two, especially in the case of withstanding large currents.
[0088] Specifically, the first direction is the longitudinal direction along the height of the grounding body 30, and the second direction is the transverse direction along the width of the grounding body 30.
[0089] Furthermore, the buckle structure 2 includes an elastic arm 204. The first buckle portion 201 is arranged on the grounding body base structure 1. One end of the elastic arm 204 is connected to the grounding body base structure 1 to form an elastic arm connection end 2041, and the other end is formed as an elastic arm free end 2042. The elastic arm 204 can undergo elastic deformation in the first direction and the second direction. The second buckle portion 202 and the third buckle portion 203 are arranged on the elastic arm free end 2042.
[0090] With the above structure, relying on the elasticity of the elastic arm 204, the second buckle portion 202 and the third buckle portion 203 provided at the free end 2042 of the elastic arm can move relative to each other in the first direction and the second direction, and have a tendency to move toward the side of restoring to the original position. As a result, when the second buckle portion 202 is farther away from the first buckle portion 201 in the first direction compared to the normal state, it has a tendency to move toward the side closer to the first buckle portion 201. When the third buckle portion 203 is engaged with the engaging edge 10-1 of the external track 10 of the buckle structure 2, it moves in the second direction and thus has a tendency to cooperate with and tightly press the side surface of the engaging edge 10-1.
[0091] Further, the grounding body 30 includes a buckle engaging portion 3 disposed at a distance from the third buckle portion 203 in the second direction. The buckle engaging portion 3 is used to cooperate with a track engaging portion 10-2 of the external track 10 that is opposite to the engaging edge 10-1.
[0092] When the grounding body 30 is in contact and cooperation with the external track 10, the third buckle portion 203 is opposite to the outer side surface of the engaging edge 10-1, and the buckle engaging portion 3 is opposite to the outer side surface of the track engaging portion 10-2. The distance between the third buckle portion 203 and the buckle engaging portion 3 in the normal state is less than the distance between the outer side surface of the engaging edge 10-1 and the outer side surface of the track engaging portion 10-2.
[0093] Or, when the grounding body 30 is in contact and cooperation with the external track 10, the third buckle portion 203 is opposite to the outer side surface of the engaging edge 10-1, and the buckle engaging portion 3 is opposite to the inner side surface of the track engaging portion 10-2. The distance between the third buckle portion 203 and the buckle engaging portion 3 in the normal state is less than the distance between the outer side surface of the engaging edge 10-1 and the outer side surface of the track engaging portion 10-2.
[0094] Or, when the grounding body 30 is in contact and cooperation with the external track 10, the third buckle portion 203 is opposite to the inner side surface of the engaging edge 10-1, and the buckle engaging portion 3 is opposite to the inner side surface of the track engaging portion 10-2. The distance between the third buckle portion 203 and the buckle engaging portion 3 in the normal state is greater than the distance between the outer side surface of the engaging edge 10-1 and the outer side surface of the track engaging portion 10-2.
[0095] Specifically, the normal state of the third buckle portion 203 can be understood as: the state of the third buckle portion 203 when it is not subjected to other external forces, that is, when the grounding body 30 is not installed on the external track 10.
[0096] With the above structure, when the grounding body 30 is installed on the external track 10, the distance between the third buckle portion 203 and the buckle engaging portion 3 in the second direction changes compared with the normal state, that is, the third buckle portion 203 moves in the second direction compared with the normal state. Therefore, under the action of the elastic arm 204, the third buckle portion 203 has a tendency to move toward the side of restoring the original position, so as to cooperate with the buckle engaging portion 3, and the third buckle portion 203 is tightly pressed against the side surface of the clamping edge 10-1 in the second direction; of course, the buckle engaging portion 3 can be arranged on the grounding body base structure 1 or on the housing 40 for installing the grounding body 30; preferably, the third buckle portion 203 faces the outer side surface of the clamping edge 10-1 when the grounding body 30 is in contact with the external track 10, and the buckle engaging portion 3 faces the outer side surface of the track engaging portion 10-2 when the grounding body 30 is in contact with the external track 10, and the buckle engaging portion 3 is arranged on the grounding body base structure 1 to increase the number of electrical contact points with the external track 10.
[0097] Furthermore, the elastic arm 204 has an arc-shaped structure.
[0098] With the above structure, the structural design of the elastic arm 204 is more reasonable, its elastic deformation ability and the corresponding elastic force are better, and the force arm is not easily yielded; and it is beneficial to enhance the strong current-carrying capacity of the grounding body 30.
[0099] Furthermore, the elastic arm connection end 2041 is connected to the side of the grounding body base structure 1 away from the first buckle portion 201, and the free end 2042 of the elastic arm is located below the first buckle portion 201 in the first direction.
[0100] With the above structure, the arrangement of the elastic arm 204 is more reasonable. The elastic arm connection end 2041 is connected to the side of the grounding body base structure 1 away from the first buckle portion 201, so that the elastic arm 204 has more bending and extending space in the first direction, which is convenient for the arrangement of the elastic arm 204 to achieve better elastic deformation ability and the corresponding elastic force of the elastic arm 204, and is beneficial to making the force arm of the elastic arm 204 not easily yield.
[0101] Further, the elastic arm 204 includes a first elastic arm 2043 and a second elastic arm 2044. One end of the first elastic arm 2043 forms the elastic arm connection end 2041, and the other end is connected to one end of the second elastic arm 2044. The other end of the second elastic arm 2044 forms the elastic arm free end 2042. The first elastic arm 2043 gradually extends away from the grounding body base structure 1 side along the second direction and bends towards the first latching portion 201 side in the first direction. The second elastic arm 2044 gradually extends towards the grounding body base structure 1 side along the second direction and bends away from the elastic arm connection end 2041 side in the first direction.
[0102] With the above structure, the structure of the elastic arm 204 is more reasonable, making it have better elastic deformation ability and corresponding better elastic force; and the lever arm is not easily yielded, and it can be more reliably connected to the external guide rail.
[0103] Further, the average bending curvature of the first elastic arm 2043 is less than that of the second elastic arm 2044.
[0104] With the above structure, the elastic arm 204 is more likely to form a large arc-shaped structure, which can better achieve strong current-carrying capacity. At the same time, its elastic deformation ability and corresponding elastic force are better, and the lever arm is not easily yielded; it can be more reliably connected to the current-carrying body 20 and the guide rail strip.
[0105] Further, clamping edges 10-1 are provided on both opposite sides of the external track 10, namely a first clamping edge 10-11 and a second clamping edge 10-12 respectively. Correspondingly, two of the latching structures 2 are provided on the grounding body 30 in the second direction, namely a first latching structure 205 for engaging with the first clamping edge 10-11 and a second latching structure 206 for engaging with the second clamping edge 10-12.
[0106] With the above structure, the structure of the grounding body 30 is more reasonable. The cooperation between the first snap structure 205 and the first snap edge 10-11 can have three electrical contacts, and the cooperation between the second snap structure 206 and the second snap edge 10-12 can have three electrical contacts. When a grounding body 30 is installed on the external track 10, there are six contact points, which can make the grounding body 30 better clamp the external guide rail, enhance the connection strength between the two, avoid the virtual connection between the two, ensure the reliability of the electrical connection between the two, and is beneficial to achieve a strong current-carrying capacity. Specifically, the third snap in the first snap structure is formed as a snap mating portion 3 that is oppositely arranged in the second direction with the third snap portion 203 in the second snap structure 206. Correspondingly, the third snap in the second snap structure is formed as a snap mating portion 3 that is oppositely arranged in the second direction with the third snap portion 203 in the first snap structure 205. The first snap edge 10-11 is formed as a track mating portion 10-2 opposite to the second snap edge 10-12. Correspondingly, the second snap edge 10-12 is formed as a track mating portion 10-2 opposite to the first snap edge 10-11.
[0107] Further, at least one of the first snap portion 201, the second snap portion 202, and the third snap portion 203 in the first snap structure 205 is formed as a pointed contact 4 having a sharp corner 401; and / or at least one of the first snap portion 201, the second snap portion 202, and the third snap portion 203 in the second snap structure 206 is formed as a pointed contact 4 having a sharp corner 401.
[0108] With the above structure, when the grounding body 30 is installed on the external track 10, the sharp corner 401 of the pointed contact 4 can contact the surface of the external guide rail, and it is easier to pierce the oxide layer or contaminants with a higher surface resistance on the surface of the external guide rail, so as to achieve closer contact between the two, that is, the contact resistance between the two is lower and the electrical conductivity is better. Even if there is an oxide layer or slight contaminants on the surface of the connected external guide rail, the electrical connection is still reliable. Specifically, the first snap portion 201 in the first snap structure 205 is formed as a pointed contact 4 having a sharp corner 401.
[0109] Further, in the first snap structure 205, its second snap portion 202 is located below its first snap portion 201 in the first direction, and the side of its second snap portion 202 away from its third snap portion 203 in the second direction gradually inclines away from the second snap structure 206 along the direction from its first snap portion 201 to its second snap portion 202;
[0110] In the second buckle structure 206, the second buckle portion 202 is located below the first buckle portion 201 in the first direction, and the side of the second buckle portion 202 away from the third buckle portion 203 in the second direction gradually inclines toward the side of the second buckle structure 206 along the direction from the first buckle portion 201 to the second buckle portion 202.
[0111] With the above structure, when installing the grounding body 30 onto the external track 10, the second clamping edge 10-12 of the external track 10 can be first aligned between the first buckle portion 201 and the second buckle portion 202 in the second buckle structure 206; when the grounding body 30 and the external track 10 move relatively in the second direction, due to the inclined setting of the second buckle portion 202 in the second buckle structure 206, the second clamping edge 10-12 can more easily and conveniently enter between the first buckle portion 201 and the second buckle portion 202 in the second buckle structure 206; then press the side of the first buckle structure 205 of the grounding body 30 downward in the first direction. Due to the inclined setting of the second buckle portion 202 in the first buckle structure 205, the first clamping edge 10-11 acts on the second buckle portion 202, causing the elastic arm 204 in the first buckle structure 205 to deform so that the first clamping edge 10-11 can be engaged into the first buckle structure 205; the above structure can more conveniently install the grounding body 30 onto the external track 10, facilitating the operation.
[0112] Further, in the state where the grounding body 30 is in contact and cooperation with the external track 10, the side of the grounding body base structure 1 facing the external track 10 is formed as the first side 101, and the side away from the external track 10 is formed as the second side 102. The middle of the first side 101 bulges in a curved shape along the direction from the second side 102 to the first side 101, and both sides are recessed in a curved shape along the direction from the first side 101 to the second side 102. The middle of the second side 102 is recessed in a curved shape along the direction from the second side 102 to the first side 101, and both sides are bulged in a curved shape along the direction from the first side 101 to the second side 102.
[0113] With the above structure, the first side 101 and the second side 102 of the grounding body base structure 1 have a multi-curve profile, which can enable it to better connect with the elastic arm 204 in the buckle structure 2 and can well realize the large cross-section of the grounding body 30, which is more conducive to realizing the strong current-carrying capacity of the grounding body 30.
[0114] Further, both sides of the grounding body base structure 1 in its thickness direction are respectively formed as a first assembly side surface 103 and a second assembly side surface 104. The first assembly side surface 103 is provided with a first connection structure 105, and the second assembly side surface 104 is provided with a second connection structure 106 that can be connected and cooperated with the first connection structure 105 at a corresponding position.

[0116] Further, one of the first connection structure 105 and the second connection structure 106 is configured as a connecting protrusion 107 that protrudes outward, and the other of the first connection structure 105 and the second connection structure 106 is configured as a connecting groove 108 that matches the connecting protrusion 107.
[0117] With the above structure, when multiple grounding bodies 30 are stacked, the connecting protrusion 107 on one of the adjacent two grounding bodies 30 can be inserted into the connecting groove 108 on the other, realizing the positioning and fixed connection between the two.

[0121] With the above structure, the connection block 6 and the connection hole 7 are provided to facilitate the tight and reliable connection between the grounding body 30 and the current-carrying body 20 through riveting, that is, the contact resistance between the two is lower and the conductivity is better; specifically, the first current-carrying connection portion 20-1 is configured as the connection hole 7, and the second current-carrying connection portion 5 is configured as the connection block 6.
[0122] Furthermore, one or more first current-carrying connection parts 20-1 are provided. Correspondingly, the number of the second current-carrying connection parts 5 is matched with the number of the first current-carrying connection parts 20-1.

[0127] With the above structure, the grounding body 30 in the terminal block can clamp the external rail 10 in the first direction and the second direction, and elastically clamp the external rail 10 with multiple contact points, avoiding the virtual connection between the two, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the grounding body 30 and the external rail 10, so as to better achieve the electrical contact between the two, especially in the case of withstanding large currents.
