Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical connectors, and in particular to a connector that allows for quick wiring. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component for interconnecting electrical systems, the structural design of connectors directly affects the efficiency of on-site installation and maintenance. In existing technologies, connectors generally adopt a combination structure of a shell and a ferrule. The ferrule is fixed inside the shell, and the cable is crimped to the wiring position of the terminal inside the ferrule by mechanical fasteners such as bolts. This type of crimping solution has significant drawbacks. Each cable needs to undergo a separate bolting process of "alignment-screwing-torque calibration-anti-loosening re-inspection". The installation time at a single point accumulates linearly with the number of bolts. Especially in multi-channel high-density connectors, bolting operations account for a high proportion of the overall installation time, making it difficult to achieve quick replacement and connection. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a connector that enables quick wiring by using a spring clip to hold the cable and connect it to the terminal, thus achieving quick wiring.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the quick-connect connector disclosed in this utility model is as follows: The device includes a ferrule with multiple spaced-apart receiving slots, multiple wiring holes, multiple through holes, and multiple sliding grooves. The wiring holes, through holes, and sliding grooves are all connected to the receiving slots. A contact portion is provided in the receiving slot, and a terminal and a contact piece extend from the contact portion. The terminal passes through the through hole, and the contact piece is close to the wiring hole. A spring piece is engaged with the contact portion, and one end of the spring piece abuts against the contact piece. A slider is slidably connected in the sliding groove, and one end of the slider abuts against one end of the spring piece.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment, the contact portion extends with a first limiting piece and a second limiting piece, the spring piece has a V-shaped structure, the first limiting piece is inserted into the middle of the spring piece, and the other end of the spring piece touches the second limiting piece.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, a third limiting piece extends from the contact portion, and the third limiting piece is close to one end of the spring piece.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the insert has multiple detection holes, which are connected to the receiving groove, and the middle part of the spring piece is close to the detection holes.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the cross-section of the slide groove has a tapered structure, the tapered part of the slide groove is connected to the receiving groove, a push rod extends from the slider, the push rod passes through the tapered part of the slide groove, an inclined surface is formed on the push rod, the inclined surface contacts one end of the spring piece, a protruding clip extends from the push rod, and the protruding clip contacts the edge of the connection between the slide groove and the receiving groove.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the insert is composed of a housing and a socket, the housing groove, wiring hole and sliding groove are all located on the housing, the through hole passes through the socket, and the socket has a slot.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the receiving box has multiple spaced slots on both sides, and the socket has multiple spaced buckles extending from both sides, which are fixed in place by engaging the slots.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the quick-connect connector disclosed in this utility model are: When connecting cables, the slider is pressed and moved along the groove.

[0018] The insert has multiple sliding grooves 12, which are located on the top of the housing box 1 and close to the wiring hole 111. The sliding grooves 12 pass through the housing box 1 and communicate with the housing groove 11. The multiple sliding grooves 12 are arranged in two rows on the top of the housing box 1, and the two rows of sliding grooves 12 are close to the two sides of the housing box 1 respectively. The cross-section of the sliding groove 12 has a tapered structure, and the tapered part of the sliding groove 12 communicates with the housing groove 11. Furthermore, a slider 121 is slidably connected within the slide groove 12, and a push rod 122 extends from the slider 121. The push rod 122 passes through the constriction of the slide groove 12, and an inclined surface is provided on the push rod 122. A protruding clip extends from the push rod 122, and the protruding clip contacts the edge of the connection between the slide groove 12 and the receiving groove 11. The constriction of the slide groove 12 can constrain the distance the slider 121 slides into the slide groove 12, and the protruding clip can constrain the slider 121 from being pushed out of the slide groove 12. The slider can be pressed into the slide groove and displaced a certain distance. Furthermore, the insert has multiple detection holes 112. The detection holes 112 are located on the top of the housing box 1 and are close to the slide groove 12. The detection holes 112 penetrate into the housing box 1 and communicate with the housing groove 11. The multiple detection holes 112 are arranged in two rows on the top of the housing box 1, and the two rows of detection holes 112 are close to the two sides of the housing box 1 respectively.

[0020] The receiving slot 11 is provided with a contact part 3, which is inserted into the receiving slot 11 from the bottom of the receiving box 1. A terminal 31, a contact piece 32, a first limiting piece 33 and a second limiting piece 34 extend from the contact part 3. The terminal 31, the contact piece 32, the first limiting piece 33 and the second limiting piece 34 are all formed by stamping on the contact part 3. The contact piece 32 is close to the wiring hole 111. A spring piece 36 is snapped on the contact part 3. In this embodiment, the spring piece 36 is preferably V-shaped. Furthermore, one end of the spring piece 36 touches the contact piece 32, and the slider 121 touches one end of the spring piece 36 through the inclined surface of the push rod 122; Furthermore, the middle of the spring piece 36 is close to the detection hole 112; when one end of the spring piece 36 springs back and presses the cable against the contact piece 32, the user can use a detection device to pass through the detection hole 112 and contact the middle of the spring piece 36 to detect whether there is current in the spring piece 36, in order to confirm whether the cable connection is in place. Furthermore, the first limiting piece 33 is engaged in the middle of the spring piece 36, and the other end of the spring piece 36 touches the second limiting piece 34; the first limiting piece 33 and the second limiting piece 34 constrain the spring piece 36 within the contact portion 3 and constrain the spring piece 36 to rotate. Furthermore, a third limiting piece 35 extends from the contact portion 3. The third limiting piece 35 is close to one end of the spring piece 36, and there is a certain distance between the third limiting piece 35 and one end of the spring piece 36.

Furthermore, multiple spaced buckles 24 extend from both sides of the socket 2, and a slot 25 is provided at the bottom of the socket 2, with the through hole 21 communicating with the slot 25.

[0022] The bottom of the receiving box 1 covers the top of the socket 2. The top of the socket 2 touches the contact part 3, constraining the contact part 3 within the receiving groove 11. The terminal 31 passes through the through hole 21 and enters the slot 25. The positioning plate 22 is inserted into the positioning groove 14, and the partition 23 is inserted into the limiting groove 15. The socket 2 separates multiple terminals 31 into independent spaces through the positioning plate 22 and the partition 23. Furthermore, the socket 2 constrains the receiving box 1 through the positioning plate 22 and the partition 23 to prevent the receiving box 1 from shaking. The buckle 24 is inserted into the buckle slot 13 for fixation. The socket 2 uses the buckle 24 to limit the receiving box 1 on the socket 2.

[0023] When connecting cables: By pressing the slider 121 to move a certain distance along the groove 12, the push rod 122 of the slider 121 pushes one end of the spring piece 36 to elastically deform. The one end of the spring piece 36 deforms and bends at a certain angle away from the contact piece 32, so that a gap is formed between the one end of the spring piece 36 and the contact piece 32 for the cable to pass through. After the cable passes through the wiring hole 111 into the gap, the slider 121 is released to release the pressing pressure. The one end of the spring piece 36 rebounds and presses the cable onto the contact piece 32. The cable conducts current to the terminal 31 through the contact piece 32 of the contact part 3. The wiring method of clamping the cable by the rebound force of the spring piece 36 realizes the rapid connection of the cable.

[0024] This invention provides a connector for quick cable connection. When connecting cables, pressing the slider moves it along the groove. One end of the slider pushes one end of the spring plate to elastically deform, creating a gap between one end of the spring plate and the contact plate for the cable to pass through. After the cable passes through the connection hole into the gap, the pressing force is released, and one end of the spring plate rebounds, pressing the cable onto the contact plate. The cable conducts current to the terminal through the contact plate of the contact part. By using the spring plate's rebound force to clamp the cable, quick cable connection is achieved.
