Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical connection device technology, and in particular to a terminal block flip-top structure. Background Technology

[0002] The flip-top structure of a terminal block is a mechanical design component used to protect internal electrical connections and improve operational convenience and safety. It is commonly found in terminal block modules in various electrical equipment, circuit boards, and distribution boxes. It is a key protective component in electrical connection systems that combines functionality and safety. While protecting internal circuits, it provides users with a convenient operating interface and is widely used in electrical scenarios that require both protection and maintenance.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN111697381A, which discloses a flip-type electrical terminal block with a protective cover, comprising a terminal block and a protective cover. The terminal block is a rectangular terminal block with a certain height, a recessed opening at one end of its width, and symmetrically arranged pin insertion holes on both sides of the other end. The protective cover is a transparent plastic protective cover that fits the rectangular terminal block. A protruding locking buckle is located at the center of one end of the plastic protective cover, and symmetrically arranged pins on both sides of the other end. The pins of the protective cover are inserted into the pin insertion holes of the terminal block, so that when the locking buckle end of the protective cover is flipped up, the pin insertion holes rotate around the pins. This invention provides a flip-type electrical terminal block with a protective cover. With its simple structure, convenient operation, and easy switching, the terminal block wiring nodes in the cover structure are kept under constant protection, providing significant advantages such as waterproofing, dustproofing, and prevention of electric shock hazards. During maintenance, the cover can be completely removed without losing small fasteners, reducing maintenance costs. The positioning mechanism prevents accidental activation. However, existing terminal cover structures are prone to accidental opening due to vibration or external impact, leading to protection failure. The terminal cover structure also suffers from unreliable locking when closed; a lack of clear tactile feedback during operation makes it difficult for users to visually determine whether the cover is fully closed or locked; and the need for complete disassembly during maintenance, which not only increases operational complexity but also leads to cover loss or damage, affecting the normal use of subsequent protective functions.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A fixing plate 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom front side of the protective shell 201. A spring strip 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the fixing plate 5. A data connector 7 is installed on the outer rear side of the base 203.

The whole system realizes the functional combination through the elastic connection of the spring strip 6 and the sliding positioning of the slide groove 9 to transmit data.

[0046] Working principle: When it is necessary to operate the internal components of the terminal block, the operator applies external force to the cover plate 2051 of the flip cover assembly 205. Since the cover plate 2051 is rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the protective shell 201 via a rotating shaft, the external force causes the cover plate 2051 to rotate around the rotating shaft, thereby opening the flip cover. During the opening process, the latch 2052 on one side of the outer wall of the cover plate 2051 separates from the slots 2054 on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the protective shell 201. At this time, the flip cover is not constrained by the main body, and the operator can disassemble the cover plate 2051 according to actual needs. This allows for convenient installation and maintenance of internal components in the terminal block. Simultaneously, the drive mechanism 3 at the bottom of the inner wall of the mounting bracket 1 provides convenient operational assistance. After operation, the flip cover needs to be closed; the latch 2052 engages with the slot 2054, securing the side of the flip cover to the protective shell 201, preventing it from opening and ensuring the reliability of the lead seal. This guarantees the safety and stability of the electrical system. Furthermore, the flip cover assembly 205 has positioning mechanisms in both the open and closed states, allowing operators to easily access the flip cover. The flip cover provides clear tactile feedback when both opening and closing. When closing the flip cover, the positioning mechanism also produces a corresponding tactile change the moment the latch 2052 engages with the slot 2054, allowing the operator to clearly know that the flip cover has been correctly closed and locked, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the operation. In the protection mechanism 2, the internal components are protected in all directions. The protective shell 201, as the main protective component, can prevent external dust, moisture, foreign objects, etc. from entering the inside of the terminal block, avoiding damage to the internal components of the terminal block. The fixing block 202 and the base 203 play a role in stabilizing the protective shell 201, ensuring that the protection mechanism 2 remains stable in various environments. The fixing strip 204 further strengthens the connection strength between the protective shell 201 and the base 203, and can also limit and fix the internal components to a certain extent, preventing the components from shaking inside the terminal block. The fixing plate 2053 and the observation window 2055 on the top of the inner wall of the protective shell 201 allow the operator to observe the working status of the internal components of the terminal block without opening the flip cover, facilitating daily inspection and maintenance.

[0047] The circuit board 301, as the main control component, is fixed on both sides of the mounting bracket 1, supporting and connecting various electronic components. The display screen 302 is powered and transmits signals through the circuit board 301, used to display device status, data, or operating interface. Its side data port 303 can connect to an external device data cable 8 to achieve data interaction or program input. The insulating plate 304 is fixed to one side of the circuit board 301, isolating the circuit from the external structure, preventing short circuits, and ensuring safety. The base plate 305 supports the circuit board 301 and connecting components 306. The power supply 3061 on its top provides power to the entire drive mechanism 3, and is connected to the circuit board 301 and socket 306 via wires. The circuit board 301 connects components such as the display screen 302, the power supply 3061, and the socket 3062. The socket 3062 is distributed on the front and rear sides of the base plate 305. The internal socket 3063 is used to insert an external power cord or device plug. The pressure plate 3064 is rotatably connected to the top of the socket 3063. After the plug is inserted, it can be fixed by the pressure plate 3064 to prevent the interface from loosening and ensure stable current transmission. The circuit board 301 coordinates the display screen 302, the power supply 3061, and the socket 3062. Data interaction is realized through the data interface 303. The power supply 3061 provides power, the socket 3062 connects to external devices, and the pressure plate 3064 ensures that the interface is stable, thereby driving the device to operate and completing the functions of data connection and power transmission.
