Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of socket technology, and in particular to a quick-connect terminal socket. Background Technology
[0002] A quick-connect terminal block is an electrical connector typically used for quickly connecting and disconnecting wires. The design of quick-connect terminal blocks makes installing and removing wires very simple; no tools are required, and the connection is completed simply by inserting the wire. These sockets generally have good conductivity and durability, making them suitable for use in a variety of electrical devices.
[0003] However, there are many different specifications and models of existing quick-connect terminal blocks, which means that in actual use, it is necessary to select quick-connect terminal blocks of various types and specifications to adapt to different cables. This makes it more troublesome to use. Moreover, the conductive plates inside the socket are prone to loosening after long-term use, which will make the electrical connection less stable. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a quick-connect terminal socket.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A quick-connect terminal socket includes a socket box with a base fixedly connected to the bottom of the socket box. Two horizontally slidable posts are connected inside the socket box, both posts being horizontally positioned. Conductive pads are provided at both ends of the two posts on opposite sides. A sliding mechanism for sliding the two posts is provided inside the socket box. Connecting mechanisms for connecting the conductive pads are provided on the surfaces of the two posts. A cover plate is installed on the top of the socket box, with two connection ports on its surface, each corresponding to one of the two conductive pads. A blocking mechanism for the two connection ports is provided inside the socket box. The arrangement of the two posts allows for easy adjustment of the distance between the two conductive pads during use, facilitating the use of connecting wires of different sizes and improving the overall performance of the device.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the sliding mechanism includes springs, and the socket box is provided with four sliding rods, all of which are horizontally arranged. The two ends of the four sliding rods are respectively fixedly connected to opposite sides inside the socket box. Two fixing blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the surfaces of the two moving columns. Multiple fixing blocks are slidably sleeved on the surfaces of the four sliding rods. Stops are sleeved on the surfaces of the four sliding rods. There are four springs, each sleeved on the surface of the four sliding rods. The four springs are respectively located at one end of the two moving columns away from each other. One end of the surface of one of the moving columns is horizontally fixedly connected to a connecting rod. The connecting rod passes through one side of the surface of the socket box, and a button is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod to limit the sliding of the two moving columns towards or away from each other, thereby facilitating the clamping of the inserted connecting wire.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, two racks are horizontally slidably connected to the bottom of the socket box. Connecting posts are fixedly connected to both ends of the top of each rack. Four connecting posts are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of two movable posts. A gear is rotatably connected to the top of the base, meshing with the two racks. The connecting mechanism includes multiple locking strips, each fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two movable posts. The multiple locking strips are paired, and four conductive pieces are respectively secured between each pair of locking strips to restrict the simultaneous sliding of the two racks, thereby facilitating the synchronous sliding of the two movable posts.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the blocking mechanism includes a baffle. Two grooves are formed at the bottom of the cover plate, and the two grooves are respectively located at the bottom of the two connection ports. Two baffles are provided, and each baffle is slidably connected to the inside of one of the two grooves. A fixing rod is horizontally fixedly connected to the surface of each of the two baffles. The two fixing rods are respectively fixedly connected to the ends of two movable columns that are far apart from each other. A panel is provided at the top of the cover plate, and two insertion holes are formed on the surface of the panel. These two insertion holes correspond to the two connection ports and are used to adjust the size of the two connection ports while the two movable columns are sliding.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. The two movable columns allow for easy adjustment of the distance between each pair of conductive plates during use, facilitating the use of connecting wires of different sizes and improving the effectiveness of the device.
[0012] 2. When inserting different connecting wires, the two movable posts can be slid, which will also cause the two baffles to slide against each other, adjusting the opening of the two connecting ports. At the same time, it will also restrict the insertion of the connecting wires to prevent foreign objects from entering during use. Attached Figure Description

The socket box 1 is provided with a sliding mechanism for sliding the two movable posts 3. The surfaces of the two movable posts 3 are provided with a connecting mechanism for connecting the conductive plates 4. A cover plate 2 is installed on the top of the socket box 1. The surface of the cover plate 2 is provided with two connection ports 21, which correspond to each pair of conductive plates 4. The socket box 1 is provided with a blocking mechanism for the two connection ports 21. The arrangement of the two movable posts 3 allows for easy adjustment of the distance between each pair of conductive plates 4 during use, thereby facilitating the use of connecting wires of different sizes and improving the effectiveness of the device.
[0020] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In a preferred embodiment, the sliding mechanism includes a spring 32. The socket box 1 contains four sliding rods 12, all horizontally arranged. The two ends of each sliding rod 12 are fixedly connected to opposite sides inside the socket box 1. Two fixing blocks 31 are fixedly connected to the two ends of each of the two moving posts 3. Multiple fixing blocks 31 are slidably fitted onto the surfaces of the four sliding rods 12. Each of the four sliding rods 12 has a stopper fitted onto its surface. Four springs 32 are provided, each fitted onto the surface of one of the four sliding rods 12. The four springs 32 are respectively located at opposite ends of the two moving posts 3. One end of the surface of one of the moving posts 3 is horizontally fixedly connected to a connecting rod 37, which passes through one side of the socket box 1. One end of the connecting rod 37 is fixedly connected to a button 38, used to restrict the two moving posts 3 from sliding closer or further apart, thereby facilitating the clamping of the inserted connecting wire.
[0021] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, two racks 35 are horizontally slidably connected to the bottom of the socket box 1. Each of the two racks 35 has a connecting post 34 fixedly connected to both ends of its top. The four connecting posts 34 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two movable posts 3 respectively. A gear 36 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 11. The gear 36 meshes with the two racks 35. The connecting mechanism includes multiple locking strips 33. Multiple locking strips 33 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two movable posts 3 respectively. The multiple locking strips 33 are paired up. Four conductive pieces 4 are respectively locked between each pair of locking strips 33 to restrict the two racks 35 from sliding simultaneously, thereby facilitating the synchronization of the sliding of the two movable posts 3.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the blocking mechanism includes a baffle 5. The bottom of the cover plate 2 has two sliding grooves 24, which are respectively located at the bottom of the two connection ports 21. There are two baffles 5, which are slidably connected to the inside of the two sliding grooves 24.

The top of the cover plate 2 has a panel 22, which has two insertion holes 23, which correspond to the two connection ports 21, and are used to adjust the size of the two connection ports 21 while the two moving columns 3 are sliding.
[0023] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-described embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: In actual use, the setting of two movable columns 3 allows for easy adjustment of the distance between each pair of conductive plates 4, thereby facilitating the use of connecting wires of different sizes and improving the effectiveness of the device. When in use, the plug to be connected can be inserted through the two sockets 23 on the surface of the panel 22. After insertion, the plug will be restricted between each pair of conductive plates 4, and the restriction of the four springs 32 will make the plug insertion more stable. When a thicker cable needs to be inserted into the device, the panel 22 can be removed, and then the button 38 on the surface of the socket box 1 can be pressed to drive one of the movable columns 3 to slide, while compressing two of the springs 32. Then, through the connection of two racks 35 and gears 36, the two movable columns 3 will slide simultaneously, thereby moving the distance between each pair of conductive plates 4 away, and also causing the two baffles 5 to slide away from each other, thus making the openings of the two connection ports 21 larger, allowing for the insertion of thicker connecting wires, thereby improving the effectiveness of the device.
