Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ballast terminal structure, and in particular to a ballast terminal. Background Technology

[0002] Ballast terminals are the metal contacts or sockets on a ballast used to connect the power cord and the fluorescent tube. A ballast is an electrical component used to limit current, protect the fluorescent tube, and start the lamp; it plays a crucial role in a lighting system. Ballasts typically have multiple terminals for connecting different wires, ensuring stable and safe light emission.

[0003] A search revealed that patent announcement number CN203301833U discloses a ballast belonging to the field of electrical component technology. It solves the problems of inconvenient assembly and high operating noise in existing ballasts. This ballast includes a coil, terminals, and a base. The terminals are fixed to a base plate, and a support block is fixed to the base. A front baffle and a rear baffle are fixed to opposite sides of the coil. The bottom of each of the front and rear baffles protrudes from the coil and forms a clamping opening on the support block. A pressure block presses the coil tightly, and both sides of this pressure block are engaged with the base plate. A noise-reducing structure is provided between the support block and the base to reduce noise. This ballast has the advantages of convenient assembly and low operating noise.

[0004] However, existing ballast terminals do not hold the wires well during wiring, which can easily cause the wires to come loose and separate, thus affecting the use of the ballast. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the market for a new type of ballast terminal to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a ballast terminal block to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing ballast terminal blocks do not have a good clamping effect on the wires when wiring, which easily causes the wires to fall off and separate, thus affecting the use of the ballast.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] Preferably, the fixing plate has four mounting limiting holes at both ends, and the four mounting limiting holes are symmetrical about the vertical center line of the fixing plate.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of heat dissipation fins are provided, and the plurality of heat dissipation fins are sequentially distributed at one end of the two opposite outer walls of the outer protective shell of the ballast. One end of the heat dissipation fin passes through the outer protective shell of the ballast and extends into the interior of the outer protective shell of the ballast.

[0010] Preferably, there are two junction boxes, and the two junction boxes are symmetrical about the vertical center line of the ballast outer protective shell.

[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the terminal block is provided with a contact end, which is located inside the contact base.

[0012] Preferably, the terminal block and the terminal post are an integral structure, and the terminal post has a wiring hole inside, which is correspondingly provided with the inlet hole.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] (1) When wiring, the connecting wire is passed through the inlet hole and then through the wiring hole. Then, the threaded rod is moved downward by rotating the knob. At this time, the terminal block is located inside the limiting slot of the threaded rod. Continue to rotate so that the lower end of the threaded rod squeezes the connecting wire. This can more effectively improve the wiring effect of the connecting wire and avoid the connecting wire from falling off and separating, which would affect the use of the ballast.

The upper end of the terminal post 5 is provided with a terminal block 502. The top of the junction box 4 is provided with a fastening device 6, which includes a rotating knob 7 and a threaded rod 8. The lower end of the rotating knob 7 is provided with a threaded rod 8. The ballast can be protected by the outer protective shell 1, the ballast can be easily installed by the fixing plate 2, and the wiring can be easily connected by the junction box 4, so that the ballast can be used conveniently. It should be noted that, in order to save space and highlight the innovative elements of this patent, such as the specific working principle and process of the ballast, and the specific working principle and installation process of the terminal post, it will not be described in detail in this patent.

[0024] See Figure 1 The heat dissipation fins 3 are provided in a number of ways. The heat dissipation fins 3 are distributed sequentially at one end of the two opposite outer walls of the outer protective shell 1 of the ballast. One end of the heat dissipation fins 3 passes through the outer protective shell 1 of the ballast and extends into the interior of the outer protective shell 1 of the ballast. The heat dissipation fins 3 enable the outer protective shell 1 of the ballast to have a better heat dissipation effect and avoid overheating inside the outer protective shell 1 of the ballast, which would affect the service life of the ballast.

[0025] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 There are two junction boxes 4, which are symmetrical about the vertical center line of the outer protective shell 1 of the ballast. The lower end of the terminal 5 is provided with a contact end 501, which is located inside the contact base 405. The terminal base 502 and the terminal 5 are integrated. The terminal 5 is provided with a wiring hole 503 inside, which is corresponding to the inlet hole 401. The junction box 4 allows for convenient wiring. The contact end 501 is located inside the contact base 405, which allows the terminal 5 to be used for wiring. The wiring hole 503 allows the connecting wire to enter from the inlet hole 401 and then into the wiring hole 503.

[0026] See Figures 1-4The rotating knob 7 and the threaded rod 8 are an integral structure. The outer wall of the threaded rod 8 is provided with mounting threads 801. The threaded rod 8 is located inside the threaded groove 402. The mounting threads 801 are correspondingly provided with the connecting threads 403. The lower end of the threaded rod 8 is provided with a limiting slot 802. The terminal block 502 is located inside the limiting slot 802. The threaded rod 8 can be rotated by rotating the knob 7, so that the lower end of the threaded rod 8 squeezes the connecting wire entering the terminal block 503, which can improve the fastening effect.

[0027] Working principle: In use, the terminal 5 is installed into the mounting groove 404, and the lower end of the terminal 5 is installed into the contact seat 405. At this time, the inlet hole 401 and the wiring hole 503 of the terminal 5 are on the same horizontal plane. When wiring, the connecting wire is passed through the inlet hole 401 and then through the wiring hole 503. Then, by rotating the knob 7, the threaded rod 8 is moved downward. At this time, the terminal seat 502 of the terminal 5 is located inside the limiting groove 802 of the threaded rod 8. Continue to rotate, and the lower end of the threaded rod 8 squeezes the connecting wire. This can more effectively improve the wiring effect of the connecting wire and prevent the connecting wire from easily falling off and separating, thus affecting the use of the ballast.
