[0020] 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.
[0021] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0023] As attached Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a rail socket with a novel terminal block structure, including a socket body 1 and a junction box 2. The junction box 2 is disposed on one side of the socket body 1, and a terminal block 3 is disposed inside the junction box 2. The terminal block 3 has an integrally formed terminal body portion 4 and a copper strip connecting portion 5. The copper strip connecting portion 5 extends from one side of the terminal body portion 4 toward the socket body 1 and passes through the side wall of the junction box 2 to enter the interior of the socket body 1 and connect with the socket body 1. Specifically, in this design, by setting the terminal block 3 as an integral structure with a terminal body portion 4 and a copper strip connecting portion 5, compared with the traditional combination of terminal block 3 and copper sheet, this design uses a copper strip connecting portion 5 to replace the traditional copper sheet, eliminating the need for a copper sheet inside the junction box 2, effectively reducing the number of components inside the junction box 2, thereby simplifying the installation process and improving installation efficiency. In addition, the integrally formed terminal block 3 structure enhances the overall strength of the terminal block 3, improving the durability and safety of the socket. The copper strip connecting portion 5 extends directly into the interior of the socket body 1 and connects with the socket body 1, ensuring stable current transmission and reducing safety hazards caused by poor contact. Furthermore, it can reduce the overall size of junction box 2, making the track socket more compact, saving installation space, and making it easy to use in various environments.
[0024] Furthermore, a terminal fixing groove 6 is provided inside the junction box 2, and the terminal body 4 is placed inside the terminal fixing groove 6. The copper strip connecting part 5 extends from the bottom side of the terminal body 4 near the socket body 1 towards the socket body 1. A conductive copper strip 7 is provided inside the socket body 1, and the copper strip connecting part 5 passes through the side wall of the junction box 2 and extends into the socket body 1 to connect with the conductive copper strip 7. Specifically, in this design, the terminal fixing groove 6 is used to fix the terminal 3, ensuring the stability of the terminal 3 in the junction box 2 and preventing poor contact caused by the shaking of the terminal 3. The copper strip connecting part 5 extends from the bottom side of the terminal body 4 near the socket body 1. This design allows the copper strip connecting part 5 to connect more firmly with the conductive copper strip 7 inside the socket body 1, further enhancing the stability of current transmission. At the same time, the cooperation between the terminal fixing groove 6 and the copper strip connecting part 5 also makes the installation of the terminal 3 more convenient and improves installation efficiency.
[0025] Furthermore, the copper strip connecting portion 5 has a copper strip connecting end 8, a terminal connecting end 9, and an extension portion 10. The extension portion 10 is disposed between the copper strip connecting end 8 and the terminal connecting end 9. The terminal connecting end 9 is flush with the bottom of the terminal body portion 4. The extension portion 10 is bent from the side of the terminal connecting end 9 away from the terminal body portion 4 towards the conductive channel. The copper strip connecting end 8 is formed by bending the side of the extension portion 10 away from the terminal connecting end 9 towards the conductive copper strip 7. The copper strip connecting end 8 is inserted and fixed to the conductive copper strip 7. Specifically, in this embodiment, this special design of the copper strip connecting portion 5 not only enhances the stability of its connection with the conductive copper strip 7 but also optimizes the current transmission path. The flush design of the terminal connecting end 9 with the bottom of the terminal body portion 4 ensures that the wiring terminal 3 is installed in the junction box 2 accurately, avoiding poor contact problems caused by installation deviations. The extension portion 10 makes the copper strip connecting portion 5 more flexible and adaptable during the connection process, enabling it to be smoothly inserted with the conductive copper strip 7. The copper strip connecting end 8 is formed by bending and is tightly inserted and fixed to the conductive copper strip 7.
[0026] Furthermore, the conductive copper strip 7 is provided with an elastic slot 11, which has an elastic socket 12 and a side interface 13. The copper strip connecting end 8 of the copper strip connecting part 5 extends into the elastic slot 11 through the side socket and is inserted and fixed to the conductive copper strip 7. Specifically, in this embodiment, the design of the elastic slot 11 provides a stable foundation for the insertion of the copper strip connecting part 5, ensuring the stability of the current during transmission. The elastic socket 12 has a certain degree of elasticity, which can adapt to the slight deviation of the copper strip connecting end 8 during insertion, making the insertion process smoother and reducing the risk of poor contact caused by improper insertion.
[0027] Furthermore, the conductive copper strip 7 has several equally spaced dividing gaps 14 along its length, which divide the elastic socket 12 into several smaller elastic sockets 15. Specifically, in this embodiment, multiple dividing gaps 14 can be used to divide the elastic socket 12 into multiple smaller elastic sockets 15. This allows the adapter to be inserted into the conductive copper strip 7 by overcoming the elastic force of only one or two smaller elastic sockets 15, resulting in a smoother feel when the user inserts the adapter's electrode contacts into the conductive socket.
[0028] Furthermore, the separating gap 14 has a large-diameter portion 16 and a small-diameter portion 17 that are interconnected. The conductive copper strip 7 has a C-shaped copper strip body portion 18 and clamping arm portions 19 symmetrically arranged at opposite ends of the copper strip body portion 18. The separating gap 14 is formed on the clamping arm portions 19, and the large-diameter portion 16 of the separating gap 14 extends to the copper strip body portion 18. Specifically, in this embodiment, the interconnected structure of the large-diameter portion 16 and the small-diameter portion 17 provides both the flexibility of elastic insertion and ensures the stability of the structure, effectively preventing deformation caused by external forces. The C-shaped structure of the conductive copper strip 7 and the symmetrically arranged clamping arm portions 19 further enhance its stability and durability. The separating gap 14 is formed on the clamping arm portion 19, and the large-diameter portion 16 extends to the copper strip body portion 18. This layout not only makes reasonable use of space but also forms a solid support structure, enhancing the overall structural stability.
[0029] Furthermore, the conductive copper strip 7 is integrally formed by stamping. Specifically, in this embodiment, the conductive copper strip 7 adopts an integral stamping process, which not only improves production efficiency but also ensures the structural strength and consistency of the conductive copper strip 7.
[0030] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
