Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit connector technology, specifically to a circuit connector contact indicator light structure. Background Technology

[0002] Circuit connectors can connect various circuits, improve the efficiency of wire-to-wire connections, facilitate repeated connections, and reduce the difficulty of wiring. Plug-in circuit connectors are one of the most commonly used connectors.

[0003] In related technologies, a solution for a circuit connector with smooth insertion and removal (publication number CN222146723U) was found. The solution involves moving the circuit board into the mounting post using a set mounting component. When the circuit board is in the appropriate position, the limiting block is squeezed and retracted to reset, allowing it to enter the limiting groove on the side wall of the circuit board and complete the installation. Conversely, pushing the pressure plate and causing the limiting block to retract can complete the disassembly.

[0004] However, the circuit connectors used in the above scheme cannot immediately determine whether the circuit is connected after docking, requiring circuit measurement. If a circuit fault occurs during the use of the circuit connectors, the circuit connectors cannot help electricians determine where the fault is, affecting troubleshooting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a circuit connector contact indicator light structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a circuit connector contact indicator light structure, including a protective cover, the shape of which includes, but is not limited to, a cross shape, and based on the shape of the protective cover, several outer shells are installed inside the protective cover, which can be used for various electrical devices and facilitates quick connection between wires;

[0007] A plurality of electrical contacts are provided and installed inside the housing. Corresponding electrical contacts are electrically connected to each other via connecting wires. The electrical contacts enable quick circuit connection and make power connection convenient.

[0008] The indicator light is electrically connected to the corresponding contact plate via a lamp wire. The outer casing is provided with an insulating cover, and the surface of the insulating cover is provided with a lamp hole. The indicator light is located in the lamp hole. When the contact plate is energized, the indicator light lights up, indicating that the circuit is fault-free, which is convenient for detecting whether the circuit is energized.

[0009] A clamping component is fixedly connected to the outer shell. The clamping component passes through the contact plate, and the lamp wire and connecting wire are sleeved on the clamping component to ensure a stable connection between the contact plate, lamp wire, and connecting wire, and to prevent poor contact problems.

[0010] Furthermore, the housing is equipped with a separator that separates the two electrical contacts, ensuring that short circuits will not occur and making electricity use safer.

[0011] Furthermore, both the outer shell and the insulating cover have two screw positions on their surfaces. Screws are used to reinforce the outer shell and the insulating cover, improving the structural stability of the circuit connector, preventing it from falling apart, and resulting in better quality.

[0012] Furthermore, the insulating cover has nailing holes on its surface edge to facilitate fixing the circuit connector and prevent it from moving freely.

[0013] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a U-shaped base, and the indicator light is placed inside the U-shaped base to limit the position of the indicator light and ensure that the indicator light is not misaligned with the light hole, making it easy to view the indicator light.

[0014] Furthermore, a resistor is soldered onto the lamp wire, and heat shrink tubing is fitted onto the surfaces of the lamp wire and the resistor to ensure that the indicator light will not burn out. The heat shrink tubing also prevents short circuits in the lamp wire, making the circuit safer.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer shell surface is connected to a plug via a socket, and the plug is connected to a baffle corresponding to the protective cover, thereby achieving the protection of the circuit connector and making it less prone to damage.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: after the connecting piece is energized, the indicator light draws power from the connecting piece through the lamp wire. If the circuit connected to the connecting piece is fault-free, the indicator light will light up; if the circuit connected to the connecting piece is not energized, the indicator light will not respond. This makes it convenient for electricians to detect circuit faults in a timely manner, eliminating the need for circuit testing and improving the efficiency of line testing.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example:

[0028] Please see Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a circuit connector contact indicator light structure, including a protective cover 1, the shape of which is not limited to a cross shape, and a plurality of outer shells 14 are installed inside the protective cover 1 based on the shape of the protective cover 1;

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the protective cover 1 is not only cross-shaped, but can also be straight, bent at ninety degrees, or T-shaped, so that the number of circuits that the circuit connector can connect can be changed, and appropriate circuit connectors can be used according to the requirements.

[0030] A plurality of electrical contact pieces 4 are provided and installed inside the housing 14. Corresponding electrical contact pieces 4 are electrically connected to each other through connecting wires 7. A portion of the electrical contact piece 4 protrudes from between the housing 14 and the insulating cover 3 to facilitate power supply to the electrical contact piece 4.

[0031] Indicator light 9 is electrically connected to the corresponding contact plate 4 via lamp wire 10. The surface of the housing 14 is provided with an insulating cover 3, and the surface of the insulating cover 3 is provided with a lamp hole 2. The indicator light 9 is located in the lamp hole 2. The lamp hole 2 ensures that the insulating cover 3 will not block the light. When the contact plate 4 is energized, the contact plate 4 can supply power to the indicator light 9. When the indicator light 9 lights up, it indicates that the circuit is normal.

[0032] The clamping member 17 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 14. The clamping member 17 passes through the contact piece 4, and the lamp wire 10 and the connecting wire 7 are sleeved on the clamping member 17. The clamping member 17 can be a screw, which realizes the connection between the contact piece 4 and the outer shell 14, and also ensures that the circuit of the contact piece 4, the connecting wire 7, and the lamp wire 10 is connected.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the housing 14 has a partition 16 inside, which separates the two electrical contacts 4. The partition 16 is integrally formed with the housing 14. The partition 16 ensures that the two electrical contacts 4 will not touch each other, ensuring that there will be no short circuit and making the use of electricity safer.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, both the outer shell 14 and the insulating cover 3 have two screw positions 15 on their surfaces. Screws are used to connect the outer shell 14 and the insulating cover 3. The outer shell 14 and the insulating cover 3 separate the indicator light 9 and the contact plate 4 to prevent accidental electric shock.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the insulating cover 3 has nailing holes 5 on its surface edge. By passing nails through the nailing holes 5, the circuit connector can be fixed in a designated position, thereby realizing the installation of the circuit connector and preventing the circuit connector from shaking freely.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the protective cover 1 has a circular opening 13 on its surface, and the outer shell 14 has a screw hole tube corresponding to the circular opening 13. The screw passes through the circular opening 13 and is screwed into the screw hole tube, which can connect the protective cover 1 and the outer shell 14 to prevent the protective cover 1 from falling off.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 14 is provided with a U-shaped seat 8, and the indicator light 9 is placed inside the U-shaped seat 8. The U-shaped seat 8 holds the indicator light 9 in place, preventing the indicator light 9 from moving freely and ensuring that the indicator light 9 is aligned with the lamp hole 2, so that there will be no misalignment problem.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, a resistor 12 is welded to the lamp wire 10, and a heat shrink tubing 11 is sleeved on the surface of the lamp wire 10 and the resistor 12. The series connection of the resistor 12 can limit the current and prevent the indicator light 9 from burning out due to excessive current. The heat shrink tubing 11 plays a role in insulation and protection. The heat shrink tubing 11 is tightly attached to the surface of the wire and the resistor 12 to form an insulating layer, which effectively prevents current leakage or short circuit, thereby enhancing the safety of the circuit.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the surface of the outer shell 14 is connected to a plug 19 via a socket 6. The plug 19 is connected to a baffle 18 corresponding to the protective cover 1. The baffle 18 blocks the connecting line 7, and together with the protective cover 1, makes the circuit connector have a regular shape.

[0040] Specifically, when in use, after the connecting piece 4 is connected to other circuits, the connecting piece 4 is energized. At this time, the indicator light 9 draws power from the connecting piece 4 through the two lamp wires 10. If the circuit is successfully energized, the indicator light 9 will light up. The indicator light 9 can be seen through the lamp hole 2, indicating that the circuit is connected correctly and there is no need for an electrician to use a test pen to measure the circuit.

[0041] If the indicator light 9 does not light up after the connecting piece 4 is connected to other circuits, it indicates that there is a problem of no power in the circuit connected to the connecting piece 4. This makes it easier for electricians to find circuit faults in time, facilitates troubleshooting of circuit problems, and improves the efficiency of circuit testing.

[0042] Although 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 alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
