[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the specific embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the specific embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the specific embodiments described are only part of the specific embodiments of the present invention, not all of the specific embodiments. Based on the specific embodiments of the present invention, all other specific embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a specific embodiment: a waterproof structure for a switch terminal, comprising a housing 1 and a conductive block 4. A receiving chamber 3 is provided in the middle of the housing 1. The bottom surface of the receiving chamber 3 is fixedly connected to the conductive block 4. Anti-intrusion mechanisms 8 are provided on both sides of the housing 1. The anti-intrusion mechanisms 8 include three compression screws 803, a cover plate 805, and two return springs 808. Two and one threaded holes 801 are respectively provided on the outer walls of one side and the other side of the housing 1. A sealing ring 802 is fixedly connected to the side of the threaded hole 801 away from the center of the housing 1.

[0033] The compression screw 803 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 801 on one side close to the center of the shell 1, and the inner wall of the compression screw 803 is fitted with the sealing ring 802. A card groove 806 is provided on the other side of the inner wall of the front and rear ends of the cover plate 805, and a slide groove 807 is provided on the front and rear ends of the other side of the upper end of the shell 1. The reset spring 808 is fixedly connected to a card block 809 on one side away from the center of the shell 1, and the upper end of the card block 809 passes through the slide groove 807 and is card-connected to the card groove 806.

[0034] By means of a sealing ring 802 fixedly connected in the threaded hole 801 in the anti-intrusion mechanism 8, the compression screw 803 is tightened to compress the sealing ring 802 to fit tightly against the insulating outer skin of the wire, and the reset spring 808 acts on the clamping block 809 to clamp the clamping block 809 and connect it with the clamping groove 806, so that the cover plate 805 covers the fastening hole 5 on the shell 1, thereby preventing external moisture and dust from easily entering the interior of the switch terminal through the gap between the wire and the opening, thereby improving the sealing ability and safety.

[0035] The lower ends of the front and rear middle parts of the shell 1 are fixedly connected to the mounting blocks 2, and the front and rear ends of the upper end of the shell 1 are hingedly connected to the cover 805. The device can be fixed to the required position such as the electrical cabinet by screws in conjunction with the mounting holes opened on the mounting blocks 2. The cover 805 can be used to block the opening above the shell 1 and prevent foreign objects from touching the fastening screws 6. Three fastening holes 5 are opened in the middle of the upper end of the shell 1. The inner walls of the fastening holes 5 are rotatably connected to the fastening screws 6. By rotating the fastening screws inside the fastening holes 5, the fastening screws 6 are tightened. The fastening screws 6 connected allow the staff to use a screwdriver to drive the arc-shaped pressing piece 7 to move. The lower ends of the fastening screws 6 all pass through the shell 1 and are threadedly connected to the arc-shaped pressing piece 7. The arc-shaped pressing piece 7 slides inside the accommodating cavity 3. The fastening screws 6 are threadedly connected to the arc-shaped pressing piece 7, so that the arc-shaped pressing piece 7 can firmly press the wire and fix it on the conductive block 4 to prevent the wire from falling off. The threaded holes 801 are all connected to the accommodating cavity 3, and a through hole 804 is opened on the side of the compression screw barrel 803 away from the center of the shell 1. By letting the threaded holes 80 1 is connected to the accommodating cavity 3, and cooperates with the through hole 804 opened on the compression screw 803, so that the wire can be smoothly inserted into the housing 1 and contacted with the conductive block 4. A single one of them is connected to the main circuit, and the two adjacent ones are connected to the branch circuits respectively. The inner wall of the chute 807 near the center of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to the reset spring 808. The block 809 slides inside the chute 807. The reset spring 808 inside the chute 807 acts on the block 809 to prevent the block 809 from being locked in the chute 807. Movement allows the card block 809 to maintain a card-engaging state with the card slot 806, preventing the cover 805 from opening. The side of the card block 809 away from the center of the shell 1 is fixedly connected to a pressing block 810, and the side of the pressing block 810 away from the center of the shell 1 passes through the slide groove 807 to the outside of the shell 1. Through the pressing block 810 fixedly connected to the card block 809, the staff can press the pressing block 810 to push the card block 809 to move in the slide groove 807, thereby releasing the card-engaging state with the card slot 806 and allowing the cover 805 to open.

[0036] Working principle: When using the waterproof structure of the switch terminal, the staff first uses screws to cooperate with the mounting holes on the mounting block 2 to install the equipment in the required location such as the electrical cabinet. Then the staff presses the pressing block 810 to drive the clamping block 809 to release the clamping state of the clamping slot 806 and open the cover 805. Secondly, the staff inserts the wire into the shell 1 from the through hole 804, and then uses a screwdriver to tighten the fastening screw 6 to allow the arc-shaped pressing piece 7 to press the wire onto the conductive block 4. Then, the cover 805 is closed and the reset spring 808 is used to act on the clamping block 809 to keep it clamped to the clamping slot 806 and keep the cover 805 closed. Finally, the staff tightens the compression screw 803 to compress the sealing ring 802 to fit tightly with the insulating sheath of the wire, and cooperates with the cover 805 to cover the fastening hole 5 on the shell 1, thereby improving the switch terminal's ability to prevent moisture and dust from intrusion.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned specific implementation methods, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned specific implementation methods or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
