Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coupler technology, specifically to a coupler structure with a terminal block. Background Technology
[0002] Because wiring is cumbersome to connect and difficult to replace, it is not conducive to circuit testing. Therefore, wiring terminals are generally used to connect and fix the wiring, making it easy to connect and replace the wiring and enabling it to meet complex connection requirements before being applied to actual circuit systems. Couplers are devices that assist wiring terminals in achieving reliable connections, and they are indispensable, especially in multi-line connection scenarios such as industrial automation and power distribution.
[0003] In existing technologies, terminal couplers require the terminals to be connected to the coupler's connection point during use. When the line is being repaired or replaced, the wires are then removed from the coupler. However, due to the different connection methods of the couplers, they cannot be adapted to different scenarios. This is why operators need to select different types of couplers according to the usage scenario, which is very troublesome. In addition, improper selection can easily cause the line to become loose and inconvenient to use.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a terminal block coupler structure to address the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a coupler structure for a terminal block, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when using a coupler, the operator needs to select different types of couplers according to the usage scenario, which is very troublesome to operate, and at the same time, improper selection can easily cause the circuit to become loose and inconvenient to use.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a coupler structure for a terminal block, comprising a plastic housing, a fixing spring piece installed at one end inside the plastic housing, a fixing plate slidably installed through the lower part of the plastic housing, a clamping bolt threadedly connected to the upper part of the plastic housing, and a terminal block inserted into one end of the plastic housing. A pressure plate is fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixing spring, and the pressure plate has an inverted U-shaped design.
[0007] Preferably, the interior of the plastic shell is provided with a hollow groove, the lower end of which is provided with multiple sets of fixing grooves, the lower end of which is provided with sliding grooves, and sliding holes are provided through both sides of the lower end of the hollow groove. A fixing hole is provided through the center of the sliding groove, and an annular groove is provided on the outer periphery of the middle end of the fixing hole. A rotating hole is provided through the lower end of the fixing hole. A fixing block is fixedly installed on the inner side of one end of the hollow groove. A support wheel is movably installed on the inner side of the fixing block via a rotating shaft. A fixing frame is fixedly installed on the inner side of the upper part of the hollow groove. Three fixing rings are installed on the inner side of the fixing frame via a rotating shaft. A switch is provided through one end of the plastic shell, and an insertion hole is also provided through the same end of the plastic shell. A guide post is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper part of the plastic shell.
[0008] Preferably, a conductive plate is fixedly installed inside the fixing groove, and the width of the two sides of the conductive plate is slightly smaller than that of the fixing groove.
[0009] Preferably, the switch includes a button and a mounting hole that extends through the button. A spring is fixedly installed at one end of the mounting hole, and a limit plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring.
[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the guide post is provided with a protective hole, the middle part of the guide post is provided with a threaded hole, and the lower end of the guide post is provided with a movable hole.
[0011] Preferably, a rotating bolt is threadedly connected to the center of the fixing plate.
[0012] Preferably, a pressure block is movably mounted below the clamping bolt via a rotating shaft.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. When the coupler is needed, insert the terminal block into the insertion hole so that the terminal block contacts the conductive plate to complete the initial fixation of the terminal block. The operation is simple and quick, and it is convenient to fix the terminal block. At the same time, depending on the stability of the usage scenario, you can choose whether to rotate the rotating bolt to reinforce the terminal block, prevent the terminal block from loosening and falling off in the vibration environment, improve stability, and increase the scope of application.
[0014] 2. By using the interlocking mechanism between the pressure plate and the conductive plate, it is possible to use different specifications of the same type of terminal block. At the same time, it can increase the contact area between the terminal block and the conductive plate, reduce the probability of poor contact, and improve the reliability of the connection.
[0015] 3. When repeated plugging and unplugging of the terminals causes fatigue of the pressure plate and loosening, rotating the clamping bolts causes the fixing spring to undergo elastic deformation, increasing the elastic force, thereby increasing the contact pressure, improving transmission stability, and extending the service life of the device.

[0022] A conductive plate 121 is fixedly installed inside the fixing groove 12. The width of the two sides of the conductive plate 121 is slightly smaller than that of the fixing groove 12. Fixing springs 2 are engaged on both sides of the conductive plate 121 to facilitate the fixing of the wiring terminal 5.
