Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrical connection, in particular to a quick connection terminal. Background Art

[0002] In the ever-changing modern society, electrical connection technology is the cornerstone of information and energy circulation, and its importance is self-evident. However, while the quick wiring methods currently prevalent in the market can meet basic needs, they are gradually showing their limitations when faced with the increasing challenges of speed, stability, and safety. Specifically,

[0003] Complicated operation and low efficiency: Traditional wiring methods often rely on manually tightening screws or other fasteners, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to misoperation during large-scale connection work, affecting project progress.

[0004] Unstable connections and susceptible to environmental influences: Lack of adequate protection makes wire connection points susceptible to humidity, temperature changes, or vibration, resulting in poor contact or even disconnection, increasing maintenance costs.

[0005] Frequent safety hazards: Exposed connection points pose a risk of short circuits, especially in humid or high-temperature environments, which can easily cause serious accidents such as fires and threaten personal and property safety. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the utility model provides a quick wiring terminal that can quickly complete the electrical connection of two wires and can firmly lock the two wires through a locking piece, successfully overcoming the complexity and uncertainty of traditional wiring methods, truly achieving plug and play, and instantly completing the electrical connection between the wires.

[0007] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A quick-connect terminal can quickly connect two wires, including a housing, a wiring spring arranged in the housing and made of a conductive material, and two clamping mechanisms for clamping the two wires. The clamping mechanism includes a locking bolt, a locking member locked by the locking bolt and used to lock the wires, and the locking member includes a sliding post slidably connected to the housing and abutting the locking bolt, a locking protrusion connected to the sliding post and in contact with the wires, and an extrusion spring sleeved on the outer circumference of the sliding post.

[0009] The electrical connection between two wires can be completed quickly, and the two wires can be firmly locked by the locking piece, which is efficient and reliable. The core of the clamping mechanism lies in the cooperation between the locking bolt and the locking piece. The locking bolt rotates to drive the slide column, which in turn presses the locking protrusion to press the wire tightly, forming a mechanical force to achieve a safe and tight electrical connection, ensuring that regardless of the thickness of the wire, a consistent clamping force can be obtained to prevent loosening. Under the linkage mechanism of the slide column and the locking protrusion, the wire is precisely clamped. The quick wiring terminal is simple and clear in design. You only need to tighten or loosen the locking bolt to easily complete the connection and removal of the wire. No complicated tools are required, which greatly reduces construction time and improves on-site operation efficiency.

[0010] In addition, when the locking bolt is unlocked, the extrusion spring can ensure that the locking protrusion still exerts a certain force on the wire. The wire can be separated from the quick-connect terminal under the action of an external force of a certain strength, avoiding accidents caused by the wire quickly bouncing off the quick-connect terminal after unlocking, thereby ensuring the safety of wiring and disconnection.

[0011] Preferably, the shell is provided with two channels and an inner cavity communicating with both channels, the wiring spring is placed in the inner cavity, and the two wires enter the inner cavity from the two channels respectively and contact the wiring spring in the inner cavity.

[0012] Two independent channels set in the shell allow two wires to pass through separately. The wiring shrapnel placed in the inner cavity becomes the core of the connection, assuming the important role of the wire contact surface, reducing direct interference of external factors on the wiring shrapnel, protecting its integrity and conductivity, and ensuring continuous and stable power transmission.

[0013] Preferably, the channel is provided with a placement groove and a sliding groove connected to the placement groove, the sliding column extends into the sliding groove and is slidably connected to the sliding groove, and the locking protrusion is provided in the placement groove.

[0014] The free sliding of the slide post within the sliding slot ensures the flexible adjustment of the locking protrusion, making the wire entry and exit of the channel smoother. The locking protrusion is set in the placement slot to prevent displacement of the wire in the locking protrusion when entering and exiting the channel, ensuring the stability of the structure.

[0015] Preferably, a stepped groove is further provided at the bottom of the placement groove, a spring groove is provided at the bottom of the locking protrusion, and one end of the extrusion spring extends into the stepped groove and the other end extends into the spring groove.

[0016] The stepped groove designed at the bottom of the placement slot echoes the spring groove at the bottom of the locking protrusion, forming a closed elastic buffer system. The two ends of the extrusion spring are respectively embedded in these two structures, which can perform preliminary clamping on the wire and ensure that the wire is stably inserted in the channel when it is not subjected to strong tension.

[0017] Preferably, the locking protrusion is provided with a locking guide slope.

[0018] The guiding bevel on the locking bump guides and pre-tightens the wire during insertion, helping it slide more smoothly into the correct position and reducing insertion resistance. It also pre-applies a certain amount of locking force, paving the way for subsequent complete tightening. The presence of the guiding bevel makes operation more user-friendly. Even first-time users can intuitively determine the correct insertion angle and force, avoiding damage caused by improper force or poor connection, significantly improving installation speed and success rate.

[0019] Preferably, the wiring spring has a C-shape.

[0020] The C-shaped spring clip increases the contact area with the conductor, effectively reducing contact resistance and ensuring unimpeded power transmission. Furthermore, this unique shape adapts to conductors of varying diameters, enhancing versatility and suiting diverse electrical connection scenarios. The C-shaped geometry allows the spring clip to better disperse stress when subjected to external forces, reducing the risk of deformation or breakage caused by localized excessive force, and ensuring mechanical strength and toughness for long-term use.

[0021] Preferably, both ends of the wiring spring are respectively higher than the center lines of the adjacent channels.

[0022] The design of the two ends of the wiring spring higher than the center line of the channel allows it to start contacting the wiring spring as soon as the wire passes through the channel, which helps the wire to contact the wiring spring more smoothly and realize rapid wiring of the two wires.

[0023] Preferably, a mounting portion is provided in the middle of the wiring spring piece, and the mounting portion is connected and fixed to the inner wall of the inner cavity.

[0024] The mounting portion in the middle of the wiring shrapnel is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity. This design ensures that the shrapnel remains stable throughout the entire connection process and is not prone to displacement or deformation. It establishes a solid base between the wire and the shrapnel, enhancing the structural rigidity and anti-interference ability of the entire connection system.

[0025] Preferably, the channel is provided with a channel guiding slope.

[0026] Like a gentle arm, the guiding bevel at the channel guides the wire along the most natural path, reducing friction during insertion and allowing it to reach its designated position smoothly and steadily, avoiding damage that could result from forced insertion. The bevel also provides a cushioning effect, absorbing the impact of wire insertion and mitigating direct impact on the wire and terminal clip, further enhancing the durability and safety of the connection.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] The quick-connect terminal of this utility model can quickly complete the electrical connection of two wires, and can firmly lock the two wires through the locking piece, which is efficient and reliable. The core of the clamping mechanism lies in the cooperation between the locking bolt and the locking piece. The locking bolt rotates to drive the slide column, which in turn presses the locking protrusion to press the wire tightly, forming a mechanical force to achieve a safe and tight electrical connection, ensuring that regardless of the thickness of the wire, a consistent clamping force can be obtained to prevent loosening. Under the linkage mechanism of the slide column and the locking protrusion, the wire is precisely clamped. The design of the quick-connect terminal is simple and clear. You only need to tighten or loosen the locking bolt to easily complete the connection and removal of the wire. No complicated tools are required, which greatly reduces construction time and improves on-site operation efficiency.

[0029] In addition, when the locking bolt is unlocked, the extrusion spring can ensure that the locking protrusion still exerts a certain force on the wire. The wire can be separated from the quick-connect terminal under the action of an external force of a certain strength, avoiding accidents caused by the wire quickly bouncing off the quick-connect terminal after unlocking, thereby ensuring the safety of wiring and disconnection.

[0035] It should be noted that, unless there is any conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0036] The technical solution in this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] This embodiment provides a quick-connect terminal that can quickly connect two wires, including a housing 100, a wiring spring 200 arranged in the housing 100 and made of a conductive material, and two clamping mechanisms 300 for clamping the two wires. The clamping mechanism 300 includes a locking bolt 310, a locking member 320 locked by the locking bolt 310 and used to lock the wires, and the locking member 320 includes a sliding post 321 that is slidably connected to the housing 100 and abuts the locking bolt 310, a locking protrusion 322 connected to the sliding post 321 and in contact with the wires, and a compression spring 323 sleeved on the outer circumference of the sliding post 321.

[0038] The electrical connection between the two wires can be completed quickly, and the two wires can be firmly locked by the locking member 320, which is efficient and reliable. The core of the clamping mechanism 300 lies in the cooperation between the locking bolt 310 and the locking member 320. The locking bolt 310 rotates to drive the slide 321, and then compresses the locking protrusion 322 to press the wire tightly, forming a mechanical force to achieve a safe and tight electrical connection, ensuring that regardless of the thickness of the wire, a consistent clamping force can be obtained to prevent loosening. Under the linkage mechanism of the slide 321 and the locking protrusion 322, the wire is precisely clamped. The quick connection terminal is simple and clear in design. You only need to tighten or loosen the locking bolt 310 to easily complete the connection and removal of the wire. No complicated tools are required, which greatly reduces construction time and improves on-site operation efficiency.

[0039] In addition, when the locking bolt 310 is unlocked, the extrusion spring 323 can enable the locking protrusion 322 to still maintain a certain force on the wire, and the wire can be detached from the quick connection terminal under the action of an external force of a certain strength, avoiding accidents caused by the wire quickly bouncing off the quick connection terminal after unlocking, thereby ensuring the safety of wiring and disconnection.

[0040] In this embodiment, the housing 100 is provided with two channels 110 and an inner cavity 120 connected to both channels 110 . The wiring spring 200 is placed in the inner cavity 120 . The two wires enter the inner cavity 120 from the two channels 110 respectively and contact the wiring spring 200 in the inner cavity 120 .

[0041] Two independent channels 110 provided in the housing 100 allow two wires to pass through separately. The wiring spring clip 200 placed in the inner cavity 120 becomes the core of the connection, assuming the important role of the wire contact surface, reducing direct interference of external factors on the wiring spring clip 200, protecting its integrity and conductive performance, and ensuring continuous and stable power transmission.

[0042] In this embodiment, the channel 110 is provided with a placement groove 111 and a sliding groove 112 connected to the placement groove 111 . The sliding column 321 extends into the sliding groove 112 and is slidably connected to the sliding groove 112 . The locking protrusion 322 is provided in the placement groove 111 .

[0043] The free sliding of the slide post 321 within the sliding slot 112 ensures that the locking protrusion 322 can be flexibly adjusted, making the wire enter and exit the channel 110 more smoothly. The locking protrusion 322 is set in the placement slot 111 to prevent the locking protrusion 322 from shifting when the wire enters and exits the channel 110, thereby ensuring the stability of the structure.

[0044] In this embodiment, a stepped groove 113 is further provided at the bottom of the placement groove 111 , a spring groove 324 is provided at the bottom of the locking protrusion 322 , and one end of the extrusion spring 323 extends into the stepped groove 113 and the other end extends into the spring groove 324 .

[0045] The stepped groove 113 designed at the bottom of the placement groove 111 echoes the spring groove 324 at the bottom of the locking protrusion 322, forming a closed elastic buffer system. The two ends of the extrusion spring 323 are respectively embedded in these two structures, which can perform preliminary clamping on the wire to ensure that the wire is stably inserted in the channel 110 when it is not subjected to strong tension.

[0046] In this embodiment, the locking protrusion 322 is provided with a locking guide inclined surface 325 .

[0047] The guiding bevel on locking protrusion 322 guides and pre-tightens the wire during insertion, helping it slide more smoothly into the correct position and reducing insertion resistance. It also pre-applies a certain amount of locking force, laying the foundation for subsequent complete locking. The presence of the guiding bevel makes operation more user-friendly. Even first-time users can intuitively determine the correct insertion angle and force, avoiding damage caused by improper force or poor connection, greatly improving installation speed and success rate.

[0048] In this embodiment, the connecting spring 200 has a C-shape.

[0049] The C-shaped design of the connecting spring 200 increases the contact area with the wire, effectively reducing contact resistance and ensuring unimpeded power transmission. Furthermore, this unique shape can accommodate wires of varying diameters, enhancing versatility and suiting a wide range of electrical connection scenarios. The C-shaped geometry allows the connecting spring 200 to better disperse stress when subjected to external forces, reducing the risk of deformation or fracture caused by localized excessive force, and ensuring mechanical strength and toughness for long-term use.

[0050] In this embodiment, both ends of the connecting spring 200 are higher than the center line of the adjacent channel 110 .

[0051] The design of the two ends of the connection spring 200 being higher than the center line of the channel 110 allows the wire to start contacting the connection spring 200 as soon as the wire passes through the channel 110, which helps the wire to contact the connection spring 200 more smoothly and achieves rapid connection of the two wires.

[0052] In this embodiment, a mounting portion 210 is provided in the middle of the connecting spring 200 , and the mounting portion 210 is connected and fixed to the inner wall of the inner cavity 120 .

[0053] The mounting portion 210 provided in the middle of the wiring spring clip 200 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner cavity 120. This design ensures that the spring clip is always in a stable state during the entire connection process and is not prone to displacement or deformation. It establishes a solid base between the wire and the spring clip, enhancing the structural rigidity and anti-interference ability of the entire connection system.

[0054] In this embodiment, the channel 110 is provided with a channel guide slope 114 .

[0055] The guiding bevel at channel 110 acts like a gentle arm, guiding the wire along the most natural path. This reduces friction during insertion, allowing the wire to reach its designated position smoothly and steadily, and avoids damage that could result from forced insertion. The bevel also provides a cushioning effect, absorbing the impact of wire insertion and mitigating direct impact on the wire and the connecting spring 200, further enhancing the durability and safety of the connection.

[0056] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
