Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrical accessories, in particular to a connection terminal. Background Art
[0002] Terminal blocks are accessories used to achieve electrical connections and are classified as connectors in the industrial sector. With the increasing degree of industrial automation and increasingly stringent and precise industrial control requirements, the use of terminal blocks has gradually increased. With the development of the electronics industry, the scope of use of terminal blocks has expanded, and their variety has also increased. In addition to PCB terminals, the most widely used types include hardware terminals, nut terminals, spring terminals, and more.
[0003] Terminal blocks usually have a PVC flame-retardant sheath on the terminal head to provide insulation and fire protection. However, the existing flame-retardant sheath is usually directly placed on the terminal head. After the wire is inserted, the flame-retardant sheath is clamped with wire clamps until it is deformed. However, since the flame-retardant sheath is made of PVC and is not hard enough, the movement of the wire in the terminal head may cause the flame-retardant sheath to be stretched by the joint, resulting in an unstable connection. Utility Model Content
[0004] In summary, in order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a wiring terminal with a more stable connection.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a terminal, comprising a terminal body and a flame-retardant sheath, the terminal body comprising a connecting head and a wiring head, the wiring head being provided with a wire insertion hole, and further comprising an inner connecting sleeve, the inner connecting sleeve being a tube-shaped sleeve which is sleeved on the outside of the wiring head and has an interference fit therewith, and the flame-retardant sheath is sleeved on the outside of the inner connecting sleeve and has an interference fit therewith.
[0006] With this arrangement, when in use, the inner connecting sleeve is first put on the outside of the terminal head and forced into place. Since the terminal head is usually a cylinder with an opening in the side wall, the opening can be squeezed into place during insertion, and since the inner connecting sleeve is cylindrical, the side wall has no opening and will not be stretched open. In this way, an interference fit effect can be achieved after insertion. Then the flame retardant sleeve is put on the outside of the inner connecting sleeve, and the installation of the terminal is completed. When connecting the wires, insert the wires into the wire insertion hole, and then use wire clamps to flatten the flame retardant sleeve. At the same time, the terminal head and the inner connecting sleeve located inside will also be flattened. The inner connecting sleeve can be made of hard materials such as metal copper, so that secondary deformation is not easy to occur. When the wire in the terminal head moves to stretch the terminal head, it will first contact the inner connecting sleeve. Only when the force is large enough to push the hard inner connecting sleeve to secondary deformation will it affect the flame retardant sleeve, and the connection will be more stable.
[0007] Furthermore, a flared sleeve is provided on a side of the flame retardant sheath facing away from the terminal body, and a flared portion adapted to an inner wall of the flared sleeve is provided on a side of the inner connecting sleeve facing away from the terminal body.
[0008] With this arrangement, the flared sleeve of the flame retardant sheath can be used to allow the outer shell of the wire to be inserted, and the inner connecting sleeve is provided with a flared portion to form a stepped shape, and the fitting flared sleeve allows the flame retardant sheath to only slide in one direction, which is more stable.
[0009] Furthermore, a retracted portion is provided between the flared portion and the main body of the inner connecting sleeve, and the outer diameter of the retracted portion is smaller than the outer diameter of the main body of the inner connecting sleeve.
[0010] With this arrangement, the retracted portion can serve as a limit for the terminal head. When the terminal head is inserted into the retracted portion, it will stop, which is more stable. After the wire clamp is clamped, the retracted portion will clamp the wire more tightly, which is more stable.
[0011] Furthermore, the side of the retracted portion facing away from the terminal body is tapered.
[0012] With this arrangement, the cone can play a guiding role when inserting the flame retardant sheath, making insertion easier, and the wire can also be inserted along the cone surface.
[0013] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the retracted portion is not greater than the diameter of the wire insertion hole.
[0014] With this arrangement, when the wire is inserted along the tapered surface, it will be directly guided into the wire insertion hole and will not hit the end face of the terminal head, making installation more convenient.
[0015] Furthermore, the distance between the end surface of the inner connecting sleeve facing the terminal body and the retracted portion is not less than the length of the wiring head.
[0016] With this arrangement, the terminal head will be completely wrapped by the inner connecting sleeve and will not be exposed to the outside.
[0017] Furthermore, a bending plate bent toward the axial direction of the inner connecting sleeve is provided on an end surface of the inner connecting sleeve facing the terminal body.
[0018] With this arrangement, a plate will protrude from one side of the inner connecting sleeve. After the terminal head is fully inserted, the plate can be bent to buckle the terminal head and block its exit direction. In this way, the inner connecting sleeve cannot be pulled out anymore, making it more stable.
[0019] Furthermore, two oppositely arranged opening grooves are provided on an end surface of the inner connecting sleeve facing the terminal body.
[0020] With this arrangement, the end of the inner connecting sleeve can be more easily stretched after the opening is provided, so that the terminal head can be inserted more easily. Moreover, the opening only occupies a small part of the inner connecting sleeve and will not affect the overall stability.
[0021] Furthermore, an end of the inner connecting sleeve facing away from the terminal body is provided with a seesaw that is tilted away from the axial direction of the inner connecting sleeve.
[0022] With such a configuration, the tilted seesaw will not interfere with the insertion process of the flame retardant sheath when it is inserted, but will press against the inner wall when it is withdrawn, preventing it from sliding out and increasing the overall stability.

[0033] With this arrangement, the retracted portion 302 can serve as a limit for the terminal head 102. When the terminal head 102 is inserted into the retracted portion 302, it will stop, which is more stable. After being clamped by the wire clamp, the retracted portion 302 will clamp the wire more tightly, which is more stable.
[0034] Preferably, in this embodiment, the side of the retracted portion 302 facing away from the terminal body 1 is tapered.

[0043] With this arrangement, the end of the inner connecting sleeve 3 can be more easily stretched after the opening is provided, so that the terminal 102 is more easily inserted. Moreover, the opening only occupies a small part of the inner connecting sleeve 3 and will not affect the overall stabilization effect.
[0044] In this embodiment, preferably, the end of the inner connecting sleeve 3 facing away from the terminal body 1 is provided with a seesaw 305 tilted away from the axial direction of the inner connecting sleeve 3 . The above setting is not limiting, and multiple seesaws 305 can be provided.
[0045] With such arrangement, the tilted seesaw 305 will not interfere with the insertion process of the flame retardant sheath 2 when it is inserted, but will press against the inner wall thereof when it is withdrawn, thereby preventing it from sliding out and increasing the overall stability.
