[0016] Figure numerals: 1. base; 2. positioning groove; 3. support frame; 4. elastic member; 5. pressing column; 6. fastening member; 7. flange; 8. positioning block; 9. connecting ring; 10. locking block; 11. mounting groove; 12. protrusion; 13. abutting end; 14. holding end; 15. abutting groove; 16. positioning column; 17. terminal. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the embodiments to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a tool for milling the tail end of a shunt conductor includes a base 1 pre-clamped on a milling machine, such as a milling machine, and provided with a positioning slot 2 adapted to the shape of a terminal 17. Specifically, the base 1 is further provided with a support frame 3, which is provided with a holding column 5 that can be moved toward or away from the base 1 via an elastic member 4. Furthermore, the base 1 is further provided with a fastening member 6 that can be used to drive the support frame 3 toward the base 1.

[0019] When the tail end of the shunt wire is milled, the terminal 17 can be placed in the positioning groove 2, and then the fastening member 6 is operated to drive the support frame 3 close to the base 1. During this period, the pressing column 5 will abut the terminal 13 and press the terminal 17 into the positioning groove 2 to complete the clamping.

[0020] The elastic setting of the pressing column 5 can ensure sufficient pressing force on the terminal 17 on the one hand, and is not easy to cause excessive pressing force on the terminal 17 on the other hand, so that the terminal 17 is not easy to be deformed when clamped.

[0021] For example, the pressing post 5 is slidably fitted on the support frame 3, and a flange 7 is provided at the end of the pressing post 5 close to the base 1. The elastic member 4 includes a spring sleeved on the pressing post 5, with one end of the spring abutting against the support frame 3 and the other end abutting against the flange 7. When the pressing post 5 abuts against the terminal 17, the spring will be compressed between the flange 7 and the support frame 3, so that the pressing post 5 can be resiliently arranged relative to the support frame 3.

[0022] In some embodiments, both the base 1 and the support frame 3 are constructed in an elongated strip shape, with the press pins 5 and positioning slots 2 arranged in groups along the horizontal axis. In other words, the base 1 and support frame 3 are each provided with a plurality of positioning slots 2 and press pins 5, with each press pin 5 corresponding to each positioning slot 2. During milling, multiple shunt conductors can be loaded into the positioning slots 2 simultaneously, enabling the milling of more shunt conductor ends in a single clamping operation.

[0023] For example, the base 1 may be provided with a plurality of detachable positioning blocks 8, with adjacent positioning blocks 8 defining the aforementioned positioning slots 2. Positioning and clamping of terminals 17 of different widths may be achieved by replacing positioning blocks 8 of different sizes. In a preferred example, a mounting slot 11 is provided on the end face of the base 1, and a corresponding protrusion 12 is provided on the positioning block 8. The positioning block 8 is removable relative to the base 1 by snapping the protrusion 12 into the mounting slot 11. The mounting slot 11 may preferably be constructed to extend longitudinally through the side wall of the base 1, so that the positioning block 8 can be more conveniently assembled and disassembled by sliding the protrusion 12 laterally in and out of the mounting slot 11.

[0024] The base 1 is further provided with vertical through holes between adjacent mounting grooves 11, and a positioning post 16 is further provided in the through holes, with the end of the positioning post 16 extending into the positioning groove 2. When the terminal 17 is placed in the positioning groove 2, the positioning post 16 can be snapped into the mounting hole of the terminal 17 to further position the terminal 17.

[0025] In some embodiments, the fastening member 6 includes a connecting ring 9 rotatably mounted on the side wall of the base 1, and a locking block 10 is also rotatably mounted on the end of the connecting ring 9. After the terminal 17 is placed in the positioning groove 2, the connecting ring 9 is rotated to rotate the locking block 10 to the side of the support frame 3 facing away from the base 1. At the same time, since the elastic member 4 is in a natural state, the support frame 3 can be described as being in a raised state away from the side of the base 1. At this time, the side wall of the locking block 10 is in contact with the support frame 3. When the locking block 10 is further rotated, the end of the locking block 10 pushes the support frame 3 toward the side of the base 1, the elastic member 4 enters a compressed state, and the pressing column 5 presses the terminal 17 into the positioning groove 2.

[0026] As another solution, the fastening member 6 can also be a screw provided on the base 1 and a push block (not shown) adapted to fit the screw. It is understood that after the terminal 17 is placed in the positioning slot 2, the screw can be rotated to drive the push block to move axially, thereby pushing the support frame 3 toward the side of the base 1 to clamp the terminal 17.

[0027] For example, the locking block 10 may include an opposing abutment end 13 and a gripping end 14, wherein the gripping end 14 may be configured in any shape suitable for handholding, while the abutment end 13 may preferably be configured as an arcuate surface, and an abutment groove 15 correspondingly configured to mate with the arcuate surface is provided on the end surface of the support frame 3. When the rotating block rotates, the arcuate surface and the abutment groove 15 guide the rotating block, making the rotation smoother and more labor-saving.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. Instead, the present invention can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments and can be modified within the scope of the concept described herein through the above teachings or techniques or knowledge in the relevant fields. Modifications and variations made by those skilled in the art that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention are intended to be protected by the claims appended hereto.
